Kindness Box

We have two Kindness Boxes in town for when you are needing a little inspiration or encouragement... or know someone else who is...

You can find a rock with a message in one of our Kindness boxes...they tend to be empty a lot...so it keeps us busy trying to keep them supplied...

I'm glad others find these rocks and want the messages the have and the good feelings they give them...

The rocks I have done are mostly what I call smalls...an inch or two across...

Stained Glass Experiment

These painted rocks started out as an experiment...I was trying to replicate the look of stained glass but I don't think I captured that? I started by outlining my sketch with black two-dimensional paint...then filling in each portion with a couple of colors of acrylics and swirling them around with a toothpick...After the paint was dry I added the wording and sealed them...they were later hidden in town...

On this rock, I experimented with swirling different colors together all over the rock...when dry I added the black details...

For Pet's Sake

I was asked if I could paint a few rocks to donate to a For Pets Sake Inc. event. The rocks will sell for a donation.

 For Pets Sake Inc. is the oldest independent Rescue in Washoe County, founded by Sara Petersen in 1984. They specialize in small dogs but do take larger dogs. 

These rocks are the ones I painted for this event...

The bottom one of the Yorkie was hard to do...I painted and repainted several times until it was...okay, that's enough...I'm not going to get it as perfect as I'd like so I had to know when to quit...
