One of the residents in our community began a "Babcock Ranch Rocks" page on FaceBook. The page is used to post painted rocks that you find throughout our community. Every once in a while, if I am lucky, I find a painted rock. When I do, I post my find on the FaceBook page and relocate the rock.
This is one of the rocks I have found.
Way back when, I painted some rocks to look like turtles, but sadly, I can't find my pictures of those. They were painted on rocks I found on the beach in Oregon, which were mottled like a turtle shell, so I added features to bring the inner turtle out! I decided that I could paint some more and hide them in our community. It's a lot of fun to create something...and then set it free!
This is a butterfly I painted. I also created a turtle, a frog and a dog, a ladybug, and some with random designs in bright colors.
Then, I experimented with painting apple snail shells. Many of these are exotic, invasive species. The shore birds delight in eating the animal (hooray for eliminating the exotic species) and leave the shells on the shore of our lake so that I can find them... and paint them. This is one of my favorites! It is supposed to look like an echinacea flower.
My daughter ordered a form to paint mandalas on rocks, I think finding anything like rocks interesting:)
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative and the things you make are great, fun, beautiful. I now have three framed pieces of your art in my house.
