Sunflowers for Ukraine


Recently, I was a t a thrift store and found this box for $3.  It seemed weird to have a set of oil paints for kids. On closer examination, I saw the detailed sunflower inage at the bottom of the box. I also saw that they showed the paint cleaning with water so I didn't think it was oils, so I took it home. 


Inside was a cloth canvas and paints for a very detailed paint by number. Certainly poor adverting as I don't think this is right for a child. 

And so I got an inexpensive canvas and stapled this canvas on the frame - and off we go. 



And the finished piece.  It was acrylics, not oils. I had to mix my own paints at times because some of the paints were dried out.  I was very happy with the results.
