Here's another rock I made and painted. It taken me awhile to paint it because our weather here is so wet and dark, and the paint takes ages to dry. I had to wait several days for each coat of paint to dry before I could do the next coat. It was very time consuming, plus I ended up back in hospital for two days this week. Anyway, the rock is made from quick dry cement and is four inches round. It was one I made a couple of weeks ago and never got around to painting it. I sketched the snowman and lights etc, then went over the top with a Posca pen, or an acrylic marker. I guess I will put him under the Christmas tree! We've had four solid days of very heavy rain, today being the 4th day. I am SO over it. 😠The rain is really heavy and loud, and drowns out the radio or the tv. Yep, it's time it's stopped! The good thing is, as wet as it is, it isn't very cold! It's been a warmer Winter than usual. It's been so dark I have to have lights on otherwise I can't see. I bought a five cheap sets of acrylic paint pens from K. Mart last week. There are some metallic markers as well as bright ones and some more pastel ones. They are just as good as the Posca but much cheaper. When I got an email notification that they had been sent, it said they were each being sent separately. I thought that was dd and rather wasteful to send each pack on it's own. Why not chuck them all into one post bag and send them altogether?? Anyhow, when they arrived, they were all in one postal bag, but each pack of markers were in separate bags. Wasteful! There was a ton of plastic to throw out. In a world where we are trying to reduce our plastic waste, this is not good. I was tempted to pack it up and send it back to K. Mart telling them not to be so wasteful, and stop filling our rubbish tips with so much plastic. It wasn't necessary to use that amount of plastic. I had enough bubble wrap to build a Bouncy Castle for the cats!
So that's my art work for now, I have other rocks I can paint, but with this dark and oh-so-wet weather I'm hesitant to pain them. We'll see! Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
