Painted Rocks Make the PERFECT Gift
|
Cave & Rock paintings are paintings found on cave walls and ceilings, and especially refer to those of prehistoric origin. The earliest such rock art in Europe dates back to the Aurignacian period, approximately 40,000 years ago, and is found in the El Castillo cave in Cantabria , Spain . The exact purpose of the paleolithic cave paintings is not known. ~ Wikipedia As a small child, I was enthralled with rocks ... I collected them and I painted on them. If my family went outside I always had a paper sack with me to collect my "treasures". Where many girls my age had Barbie dolls stashed in their closets ... I had bags of rocks!
For many years "making a living" got in the way of my passion for painting on rocks, but as the years have slipped by my desire to put "paint to rock" has increased and now this American girl has moved to Austria. Believe it or not I live in a village named Breitenau am Steinfeld ... translated from German that means the "Stone Fields of Breitenau" and indeed it is covered with stones and rocks. The river banks of Austria hold all sorts of rock "treasures" begging to be turned into art! Enjoy some of my WhimSea Collection below! |
All of the stones that I paint on come from Austria / Europe ... not to be confused with Australia (there are no kangaroos in Austria ... lol!)
I use the best acrylics and seal the art with a clear varnish. All art is signed and dated.
