This one is my favorite. I had already started repainting the background when I took the before picture. |

Repaired Paint by Number Paintings
It's so concerning what's happening in Japan today, my heart goes out to every one there. I thought sharing some art would lift spirits. Here are three paint by number oil paintings that I found in the shed of our home when we moved in 14 years ago. I almost threw them away because they were dirty and scuffed up but decided to bring them in the house. At first I thought there were only 2 paintings because one was stuck to the back of another. It was only when I decided to repair them last October that I discovered there were actually 3 paintings. I had intended to just touch up the damaged areas but was unable to get an exact color match. Mixing the paints was extremely tedious and time consuming for me. I have no real experience other than a high school art class and watching Bob Ross on TV and his instructional videos. I've done a handful of oil paintings, nothing spectacular. I ended up repainting everything with colors I mixed and here are the results.
