PAINT BY NUMBER
... So I picked up the paint by number oil painting kit. ... The smell of chlorine treated pools and paint mixed together in the air to form a distinctive perfume. I began working everyday working on one color a day filling in all the number 1s or dark brown and then the number 3s the light brown and so on until close to the conclusion of summer and I was just about finished with my work of art. ... A little smudge there and some white speck where I didnt quite finish the number spot. ... The odor of oils from the paint still in the air and my hands covered with all different colors as if I had some foreign disease.
