Rock #25 Gel Pen Flower


This one I was experimenting with my gel pens from Shuttle Art.  The first picture I had drawn the flower directly to the rock.  I thought it would look cute with a pearl finish, but when I covered it, it smeared.  So I painted with the pearl finish and then drew on top of the pearl finish for the second picture. #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment This rock was originally abandoned in the parking lot of Texas Roadhouse.

Rock #24 Watch for Rocks

Rock #23 Cheeseburger


Melody and I came up with this idea based on the shape of the rock.  Cheeseburger with a bite taken out of it. #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment
I never could let this one go... Now my daughter has claimed to to live in her "Live Corner" at her dorm in College.

Rock #20 I see you

I got this idea from Pinterest.  It makes me think of the phrase, "You can do hard things." You can break out of whatever hard things try to hold you back and do they things that truely make you happy! #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment
Originally abandoned on the River Front Trail by Las Colonias Park

Rock #19 Tree of Life


Dot Art. I got this idea from Pinterest. The bottom picture shows the top of the rock and how the tree wraps around. #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment This was originally abandoned in the parking lot outside of Rib City Grill.

Rock #18 Trees in the night sky

I got the idea from Pinterest.  My family really likes this one... I might have to make another to keep. #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment My husband suggested that they can abandon this one when they go to Rampart Range in a couple weeks.

I can't believe you are giving these away!

I was painting rocks on Saturday when my husband came in and said "Painting some more rocks?" He then looked over and saw the one with lots of trees and said "I really like that one. I can't believe you are just giving these away." I sure hope that the rocks bring happiness to the finders! #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment.

Rock #15 Hope Flower

 I don't remember exactly where I saw this idea... It was either on Pinterest or one of the rock groups.  I like the chalkboard feel that it has.  #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment. Originally abandoned on a table at Hokulia.

Rock #14 City Scape

This is a city scape that I did. I got the idea from Pinterest.  It was originally painted in a glossy pick color.  I then added some blue, turquiose, and purple to make the sky.  Some white for the clouds.  Then the black for the city scape.  I used white dotting method for the windows on the buildings. GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment #GJRATA This was originally abandonded on my morning walk near my house in the neighborhood just north of mine.
