The exhibition featured twelve Artists from the region who each created a work of Art with the theme "Paint By Number".
Initially the concept was that each Artist should get a Paint By Number kit and paint it following the patterns at the core but completing the piece in which ever way they wanted to. I got this idea from looking up an Artist online who had been part of a similar group show in the States, I thought it would be a good Unique Corn Idea.
After speaking with some of the Artists later, I decided to just have the Artists do what ever they wanted under the theme "Paint By Number". The Artists were no longer required to paint an actual Paint By Number kit(although welcomed to) but they had to do something with the "Paint By Number" theme.
The following images are the piece I did for the show.

This was a truly challenging painting! I started by following the numbers and as I went the final image burned into my head, so I changed my path, made the leafs autumn leafs and went to town. The biggest challenges were to avoid certain numbers and others not, to have to paint that cloudy sky around everything and painting those tiny soldier and skeleton faces(no bigger than a nickle).
