Rock 258 ~ Not A Leopard Rock ~ April 7 2016 ~ Claremont CA

I would not ever hunt a wild animal as long as I didn't have to for survival. I would prefer to hunt rocks for fun. This rock is approximately 2 1/8" and is fun to write on. 

Rock 257 ~ Contrast Rock ~ April 6, 2016 ~ Claremont CA

One of my favorite excursions happens to be down the street a few blocks. it is an art installation called "Skyspace" by James Turrell. Twice a day it exhibits the color contrasts as it lights a ceiling area and we see the contrasting color of the sky though a hole. Look it up. This rock has contrasting colors -- Black and White -- and I put it on an acid yellow paper because I enjoyed the intensity of color at Skyspace just this evening. Rock is approximately 3 inches.

Rock 256 ~ Heart Rock ~ April 5 2016 Claremont CA

It is uncanny how many heart - like rocks I am finding these days. I love them! I heart them! One can never have too much heart. Measures approximately 2 3/8". 

Rock 255 ~ Blind Date Rock ~ Claremont CA ~ April 34 2016

So it is late in the evening and I still have to post a rock. Well, I want to post a rock. I do not have a rock yet. I go out the front door to a very black night -- no moon and few stars. I assume where my little garden rock area is and I stoop to pick one up, hoping that A, it IS a rock, and B, there is not a black widow underneath it.
Here is what I ended up with, on this particular blind rock date. Measures approximately 1 1/4" and is fat.:

Rock 254 ~ Nose Rock ~ April 3 2016, Claremont CA

I picked this rock because it had speckles and when I dug it up, I saw it was a triangle wedge like a nose. So I guess I just picked my nose. Measures approximately 1 1/2". 

Rock 253 ~ SELFIE ROCK ~ Claremont, Ca ~ April 2 2016

This is how I render my Self when I am painting my Storypaintings (although I usually do not add face features like the eye in this one). I have been painting a lot of them lately. So why not put one on a rock? Measures approximately 2". 

ROCK 253 ~ APRIL FOOL ROCK ~ April 1 2016, Claremont Ca

When I was a child, my brother and I would hunt for rocks (well,we hunted for any treasures we could find). We often found rocks with gold bits in them and would take them home in the hopes we had found real gold. It was always Fool's Gold. This rock today has colorful flecks that remind me of Fool's Gold too. Measures approx 1 7/8".
