Paint by number imagery has long been loved by Todd Oldham and has appeared as inspiration in textiles and beadwork in Todd Oldham fashion collections, making this piece a wonderful connection between found art, popular craft, design history, and fashion. This one feels particularly aligned with that spirit — playful, graphic, handmade, and joyfully unconventional.
A wonderfully special vintage paint by number deer-in-the-snow painting, measuring 10 x 12 inches, from the Todd Oldham Studio Collection of Paint By Number Paintings. This charming winter scene features two deer in a snowy landscape with bare black-branched trees, evergreen pines, a small red cabin, pale mountains, cream clouds, and a winding blue-green stream cutting through the snow.
What makes this piece especially great is that the artist clearly took liberties with the original paint by number guide — and the result is even better. The deer have a wonderfully odd, expressive quality, especially the alert deer looking out with bright round eyes, giving the whole scene personality and humor.
As with all great vintage paint by number paintings, the charm is in the human touch: the color choices, the visible brushwork, the slight irregularities, the imperfect edges, and the places where the artist chose instinct over instruction. These are not flaws — they are exactly what make the painting alive, personal, and one of a kind.
