#104 Golf Course

I first painted this one the tan color.  After the base coat I saw the vision for the final product.  The rock had some concrete stuck to it, so I painted the raised part a different color green than the main part of the rock.  I added the black dot for the hole and there ya have it. A golf course.  I have asked a couple people what they thought it was (without giving any hints) and so far only my husband could tell me without me telling them.  Once they were told, they all were like "Yeah I see it." Sealed with concrete sealer.
