I began by being barely able to make a simple cartoon image, but I have progressed. Van Gogh is a favourite artist of many, so I thought why not give the sultry master’s style a try. Looked easy enough.

I did not want to copy one of his masterpieces like ”The Starry Night” or his Sunflowers, so I combined the elements into my own rendition.

I soon learned a deep and abiding respect for Van Gogh’s mastery of a paintbrush. Those swirls, those flecks of colours are not happenstance! They are hard to do.

I found I needed great patience and discipline to know when to add a line of color. Chaos soon became a rhythmic form, a coiling river of color hues.

I know I will never do Van Gogh’s art style justice, but I am experiencing such pleasure in trying.

This newest rock has found a new home. A sheathing of protective resin and it will go to the gal who inspired me to try, Jeannette.

Finding rocks to support my obsession. I recruited 2 grandkids and a husband to help. We go to a rock/landscape company on the edge of Edmonton. It is easy to pick the perfect rocks from these massive piles. Smooth, flatish, with round edges.

SOLD to a new home. Thank you, Jeannette!
