It just doesn't get any better than that. I agree, those groovy 60's "Go-Go" PxN's are jaw-droppers & are now at the top of my want list. I've never seen any like them at thrift stores -- just the usual mountains, seascapes and last suppers. It's tedious, but if you go through the paintbynumberz archives there are maybe a dozen or so "exotic" South Seas scenes to be found. They're all fairly similar in content and composition: a lagoon with volcanic looking mountains in the background, palm trees in the foreground, maybe an outrigger or a thatched hut. I only saw one that had human figures in it. I've yet to see a PxN that has a tiki in it but maybe they exist. Anyone?
