The Two Hundred and Sixty Sixth...

Number Two Hundred and Sixty Six:

Home, Breakfast, Eggs

The final Paint By Numbers napstache series! Ha! You thought I forgot! I think this is the final one, unless we get something new from a thrift store. This is a great find Lisa managed to score years ago, before collecting this was cool. The Last Supper, took the guy about 6 months to do in the late sixties. After having it framed he even put the information on the back:

I am doing my best "Thomas" in this one. Anyway, this is proudly displayed in our home, not so much for the religious connotation, maybe a lean to the master Da Vinci work, but definitely because it looks swell in our Fungalow!

The One Hundred and Forty Seventh...

Number One Hundred and Forty Seven:

Home, Dinner, Leftover Lasagna

Paint by Numbers, the sixth, another nice seafaring theme. I really enjoy the reflection of the light house in the water and the neat action of the gulls. The kind of ruined feel of the boat and dock in the foreground give it a nice touch as well. A very happy, uplifting kind of PBN. So awesome. You know what else is awesome? Leftover lasagna I made from Sunday! So good. Garfield had it right!

The One hundred and Thirty Eighth...

Number One Hundred and Thirty Eight:

Home, Breakfast, Cereal

Fifth in the Paint-By-Numbers posts, the sailboat on the ocean has been undervalued by me. Manipulating the photograph from the original look, which is kind of faded, it really brings out the lush color of how it might have once been. Lisa thinks it is one of the oldest we have, and giving it the attention in this blog post, I am starting to appreciate it much more. The cereal this morning? Well it tastes okay enough; it's Kashi. Some of the shapes in the bowl, however, are suspiciously close to the look of the cat kibble.

Early! Friday Breakfast Blend won't play itself! Plus it was a special show dedicated to Japan. Think about Japan! This Paint-By-Numbers is Lisa's favorite because reminds her of an actual painting (without the help of numbers) that her folks have of a somewhat similar bridge that they know the location in Pennsylvania. A lot of rich greens with branches poking through, and the reflection of the water on this one, complete with a couple of people fishing in the distance, is really quite relaxing too. Anyway, yes despite the time change it is still dark out!

Third in the Paint-By-Numbers series. Lisa and I talked a bit last night about the ones we have on the walls. My opinion is that this is the oldest one we have. She says it is hard to tell just by the design because they reissued them over the years. It still has that older vibe to it. I dunno. Very cool stuff but it might have lost it's kitch over the years. I mean you can still walk into a craft store and probably pick one up and do one yourself, but would it have the same allure that one already done from the 50s or 60s have? With that mystery of just who might have done the one you bought at a flea market. Maybe.

So I Google "Paint By Numbers" and this great link comes up: An exhibit! This Napkin Moustache picture has a little, "Hey! I'm in another Dimension!" angle to it, with the tv antennae and shadowing, but it works!

The One Hundred and Twenty Fourth...

Number One Hundred and Twenty Four:

Home, Dinner, Leftovers

Number two in the Paint-By-Numbers decoration series, ha! Yoga was great, Lisa missed it being at some conference, but it was a good sun sweat with a good group. Home, then some microwaving of leftovers and dinner was ready in front of the television watching Jeopardy! This is one of my favorite PBN that we have. It used to be in the old house in the bedroom, complete with another PBN you may see here in another post, and a sail we had for a headboard at the bed, it gave it a real seafaring kind of feel. I sometimes wonder WHO painted this one, because they really followed the rules of the color kind of vibe. Aloha!

The One Hundred and Twenty Third...

Number One Hundred Twenty Three:

Home, Dinner Steak

After a blow up argument with the teen, we left the dining room for the living room. Tell me I am not the only one that gets furious at lackadaisical youth? Please. Anyway, I need to calm down now... The above picture is a Paint-By-Numbers from who knows when. A woodland scene with a 5 or 6 point buck on the trail, green trees lush green, opening up to an open mountainous lake. Pure paint by numbers awesomeness. Lisa used to aggressively collect them years ago, even featured in Home Style several years ago as a result of it!

Paint-By-Numberstache!
