I started this one at a YW 12/13 rock painting activity and finished it while painting rocks with my niece, Raylynn, and Sister-in-law, Sunday.  I had just added the mustard and Sunday suggested that I add ketchup.  I think it turned out pretty good. :)

#129 #130 Winter Nights

 #129 Winter Trees
#130 Lonely Snowman

Our School District Wellness gave a challenge to paint a winter scene and provided the canvas to use for it.  I had some ideas and decided to test them on rocks before using the canvas.  So I did the trees with a full moon and then the snowman with the moon.  The canvas ended up being a combination of both rocks.
I imagine the snowman going back to the source of its arms and giving thanks.  May we always remember to give thanks to our maker and have an attitude of gratitude!
