Either My Eyes Got a Lot Worse Or...

A personal story in the experience: I Did a Paint-by-number
p ainting by number got a lot more difficult.  They do make prints for us older folks who can handle more than twelve colors.  These doozies required mixing your own colors and probably a jeweler's loupe would be helpful. 

Anyway, mine is a very idyllic pastoral scene--decrepit wooden bridge, nice pond with ducks, mature trees flanking the thing. 

But some of those numbered spaces are SOOO TIIINY!!!  After awhile they all start to run together.  It boggled the mind!  I god some of my lines blurred, but it doesn't seem to matter...painting too cleanly  makes it look cookie cutter. 

I thoroughly enjoyed myself, but I could tell other people thought I was a little dotty.  Oh, well.  Beats sitting in front of the boob tube, and I was entertained!  When it's completely finished, I'll hang it up and tell people, "I made that."

Oh, 30 isn't over the hill?? :) The paint by number makes me feel about 102, though. Shaky hands, blurry vision, everything. I think I just like to torture myself in my spare time.
