Many years ago I met a wonderful friend named Darlene. She lives in Canada on beautiful Vancouver Island. I met, dined and shopped with Darlene during one of my recent visits there.
Like many of us, Darlene developed a hobby during the pandemic. She started painting rocks. Rocks! Her painting got better and better and now she's terrific. I was admiring her talent when she offered to send me a rock as a gift. Of course, we both agreed it should be a mermaid rock.
Here it is. It arrived with two other painted rocks and a gorgeous pair of vintage earrings. (You'll see them soon, too.)
P.S., Darlene also rides motorcycles! She's a woman of many talents. :-)
That is BEAUTIFUL! I found a painted rock while going on a walk awhile back but it's nowhere near as beautiful as this mermaid.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Her other work is equally as good.
DeleteDar! Wow, what a marvelous hidden talent! That is a gorgeous painting, and a treasure to be displayed for sure. Can't wait to see the other treats she sent you!
ReplyDeleteAlly, I’m so glad you like them! It is a joy to make things for friends. I also hide them for people to find. I tend to make mermaids and keep them for myself. I have taken one out into the wild to hide and just couldn’t leave it. Enjoy!
