Acorn-Gathering Squirrel - Paint by Numbers Kit

A round, rust-colored squirrel pauses mid-task, one acorn cupped in its paws, a whole basketful more waiting at its feet. Behind it, a single maple tree spreads into one glowing mass of amber and orange, while a red park bench and an old iron lamppost sit quietly on the path, a hint of Montreal's rooftops and church domes rising in the distance under a soft afternoon sky.

This scene captures Parc La Fontaine at the height of fall, when the grass is still green but the leaves have gone entirely warm, gold, orange and deep red carpeting the ground in loose drifts. It's a cozy, storybook kind of moment, the light gentle and low-contrast, the mood unmistakably peaceful, the kind of park visit you want to sit inside a little longer.

Each canvas arrives pre-printed and numbered, so the big shapes, that leafy tree, the plush squirrel, the bench, fill in smoothly without guesswork, making this a relaxed project for beginners as much as seasoned painters looking for something meditative. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves Montreal, autumn, or a good woodland character.

Bring this little forager and his acorn haul home, pick up your brush, and let the afternoon in the park unfold one numbered section at a time.
