I painted this rock today
(it was the heart shaped one that I picked up at the beach on Whidbey Island a few weeks ago)
in the end I decided it wasn't a heart, but a bird
I have seen hand painted rocks (like Geninne's),
and after many attempts,
I think I have come up with my very own stylized bird
I feel good about it because I am honesly inspired by other artists
but I also did not want to copy
I had one of those kind of breakthroughs that is so energizing
now I just want to paint lots of rocks
... and I know you get what I mean
;)
Beautiful bird ! Perfectly painted......he has a smug sort of expression which says "thank you for giving me life". xx
ReplyDeletea wonderful interpretation. yes, all your own. part of his feather looks like a fern. it's fun the way you turned the heart into a bird!
ReplyDeleteit is that "sweet spot" of passion when we discover our own voice. love love love your bird!
ReplyDeleteplease come for a visit and take in the offerings at the opening of the Gallery of HOpe! i think you will find inspiration there too!

ReplyDeleteI love this...so inspiring, and you made it such a lovely bird. Painting on rocks reminds me of my next door neighbor when I was just a kid, because she did this, and I always thought it was so cool!
ReplyDeleteRATZ!!!! Lynn said it before I had a chance to say it: Your rock ROCKS!!! Very clever, Kimmie. Now go find more and paint your heart out!!! Hugs, Terri xoxox

ReplyDeleteI was just holding one of the zen doodled rocks you sent me last year in our tea cup swap...it's round and I {heart} it very much
Happy June and I do not think you can keep your originality out of whatever you create no matter what are inspires you!
