Last weekend I was invited to a birthday party for one of my favorite people.. Sharon. It was her 65th and her theme was "65 rocks!" She asked everyone to bring a rock for her new garden/ pond area... I LOVED it! Imagine someone who loves rocks like I do.. we were bound to be friends!! I went into the woods and found a beauty of a rock for her, covered with the most lovely turquoise and green mosses.. the party really got me into rock mode again so that's what I painted this week... I had these around the house.. then went for a walk in the creek yesterday and found more... I do love my rocks.. :)

Hi Sally, I found this painting interesting as it reminded me of the stacked balancing rock sculptures I saw recently along the beach in Vancouver. My husband and I were both fascinated and took tons of photos.
I really enjoyed looking at your glass paintings too. Lovely work! Cheers, Tonya
