Rock Painting - Part 2

It doesn't end there!  Not only do I become interested in painting on rocks, my partner (Dave) happened to see some pictures on the Internet of ladybirds (well, they were called ladybugs by their artist) and suddenly became artistic himself! 

He picked up a stone and started to paint.  The results of his first artistic endeavours are pretty good (I think so anyway).

I know that the author of the book painting flowers on rocks also has other books available and no sooner did the idea pop into my head ... off I went looking for stones that would stand up on their own - to be painted as cottages.

These cottages are not based on any real cottage ... but perhaps the next ones may be!

I will leave you with one of my favourite painted stones (for now) - tulips.  These actually do look so much better in real life as they again look more shinier because of the varnish I have used.

The moral of all these pictures is:  Have a go!

I had not picked up pen and paints for years - these are my first attempts and I am sure my painting will improve as the more painting I do, techniques learned long ago and forgotten, somehow are starting to return.

Why not share your interest/hobby with us ... give us your hints/tips.
