This is the mess generated by beginning some small watercolours of stones. I hope there will be at least 6 and if possible about a dozen.
I'm into rocks at present. Does it show? They have such wonderful shapes and colours and are affected by light and shade and let's face it, that's painting!
Rocks are the building blocks of our world. The eons of our history are contained in their layers, faults and eroded shapes and in the fossils they have captured.
Human history was first recorded on their surface and engraved in them. They were our first tools and unfortunately, our first weapons.
Rocks in landscape trigger an emotional response as their solidity contrasts with the softness of water, soil or vegetation. so I paint rocks.
