Pick-me-up Painted Rocks

If you found one of these painted rocks, you did not find it...it found YOU!

May you be blessed by this surprise. Keep, give away or re-hide. The choice is yours.

On their way to a new home. Thank you, Joan.

Bringing brothers together. Thanks, Brenda!

I began by being barely able to make a simple cartoon image, but I have progressed. Van Gogh is a favourite artist of many, so I thought why not give the sultry master’s style a try. Looked easy enough.

I did not want to copy one of his masterpieces like ”The Starry Night” or his Sunflowers, so I combined the elements into my own rendition.

I soon learned a deep and abiding respect for Van Gogh’s mastery of a paintbrush. Those swirls, those flecks of colours are not happenstance! They are hard to do.

I found I needed great patience and discipline to know when to add a line of color. Chaos soon became a rhythmic form, a coiling river of color hues.

I know I will never do Van Gogh’s art style justice, but I am experiencing such pleasure in trying.

This newest rock has found a new home. A sheathing of protective resin and it will go to the gal who inspired me to try, Jeannette.

Are these guys just the cutest? Yummy mummies. I think I will hide them in October. Also available for purchase. Just ask. The yellowish one and brown one have been SOLD!

Gifted to a friend....
