*********

These 4- 16”x20” paintings below (done in acrylics) done in 2015 sparked my interest in learning to paint when I retired. These are paint-by-number Christmas scenes that for 3 of them, I customized for my children. After doing this, I knew I wanted to learn more so I could paint whatever stirred my passion. Paint by number couldn’t fill that need.
