Rock Paintings

These slabs of stone get cut with a diamond saw, like slicing bread. Whenever I see a landscape in the stone, I feel compelled to paint an animal or bird into that setting. I paint only the birds or animals and sometimes a shadow or reflection. Everything else is native to the stone. I finish each painting with a spray-on lacquer, which brings out the colors of the stones and protects the paint. Then I attach a hanger to the back of each piece with industrial strength jeweler's glue so they can hang on the wall like a plaque.
