A Colourful Tiger / Painting by Numbers

Maybe i’ll never be a Picasso….

and Lowry’s paintings are safe from my brush

reality is whilst i can do a bit of a sketch

keeping to the borders with my HB Pencil

its getting the colours on the canvas right – that’s why the

numbers on the pre-printed board are

great – for they tell me where the colours should go

On go the Orange’s, the greens and the browns

Until its time for the greys and the blacks

Taking my time – layering the paint – forms a picture of the puddytat.
