Historic New England, collecting paint by numbers!
Loved the article in the latest addition of Historic New England on Craft Masters Paint by Numbers. They are part of my history. While living in Europe in the late 50’s, early 60’s my father painted quit a few, they sold them in the PX and they were something to do.
When he was away on special assignment he had time on his hands and he would paint them. I’m lucky to still have a few!
