I was concerned when I was given 16 small stones and asked to paint them in a grid, on a white (cream) background, on a square canvas (14″ X 14″). In the end, I was delighted! I love this piece. The drama of the individual stones really works. Yes, I did enlarge each stone greatly, but I kept them in their original proportions to each other. I chose to paint minimal but essential shadows.
This charming Victorian table was brought to me by a client along with at least 150 of his own stones to serve as models. I painted about 2/3 of them and also included some from my own collection. He wanted only the table top painted and asked that the remainder of the table be left untouched. It makes me so happy to be painting stones! He was thrilled with the results. Of course there is a bug nestled in among the stones. Can you find it???
I just love painting rocks! This 12″ X 8″ X 3″ box has faux painted marble sides and bottom. Sorry but this gem was sold as soon as I put it in a show. I’d love to paint another if you want one!
A Grandmother’s gifts to her grandchildren! Two favorite ‘Stuffies’, a warthog and a donkey, will now always be preserved for these two children. This subject of this commission was another first for me, but since I love painting texture it was right up my alley!! They are painted on wooden plaques 9″ X 12″ each.
And the two little turtles are painted on small stones to fit in little hands! I actually enjoyed painting the turtle undersides more than the tops!!
