5 out of 5 starsI am really happy with this pair of bunnies! The natural rocks were used so well in creating these. The colors and shading were done really nicely and the manner in which the eyes were painted provide a sparkle to the point that they almost appear to be glass. A special little set that will go nicely in my rock collection. They arrived earlier than stated, were packed well and placed in a beautiful royal blue cloth drawstring bag with a metallic silver design.

5 out of 5 starsI bought 3 painted rocks, two for memorials for my beloved pets and one as a gift. I was blown away by the quality and realistic representation; seriously, this artist is excellent!! These will bring joyful memories every time I walk by the rocks.

5 out of 5 starsBeautifully fine detailed painting! I loved the glitter sparkle around the heart giving it some pop. “Owl” always love my son and he’ll always love this hand-painted stone I gave him. Worth the price and more. Packaged well for delivery and gift giving.

Rock picking at a creek.
My life as an artist.
I started drawing at a very young age. I would fill up my mother's writing pads with doodles and then catch hell because she couldn't find a clean page. "Sorry, mom!"
Many years later, after trying a few different mediums, I realized I loved oil painting.
I draw and paint any subject matter that inspires me, from portraits (people & pets) to scenery, still-life, and flowers.
In 1998 I found a book at the library on painting rocks. I looked at the book and put it back. I couldn't get it out of my mind so I went back the next day and borrowed it. Well, the rest is history, I've been painting rocks ever since!
I also love to paint on wood Christmas ornaments. I create the design and then paint it on the ornament freehand, fun!
I also paint your pet or child on the larger ornaments. I include a Santa hat and "your" words on the back.
Thanks for visiting,
Cynthia

Frequently asked questions
What if I have an idea for a painting?
I'm all ears! Just convo me with your thoughts and we can discuss it.
How big are the portrait rocks?
The rock for a single portrait is about 5" x 5" give or take. Every rock is unique and the shape will vary. The cost for this size is CAD $140 + shipping.
Double portrait rocks are about 9" x 6" give or take. They are CAD $260 +shipping
Do I have to pay upfront for my custom order?
Yes, full payment before I start.
We will convo each other with questions and ideas and I really want you to be happy.
I strive to do my best work with every portrait and want you to be thrilled.
What is the process if I want a portrait rock done?
*PLEASE, before you purchase send me at least one good photo. The more the better!
*I'll let you know if the photos are usable.
*Let me know if you want any names or dates on the rock. (Front or back)
*We get the finances out of the way and I start painting.
*I will send you photos when I'm done for your approval.
*Then I varnish, let it cure for a day, then ship it to you!
Please don't be shy about questions or thoughts. I may contact you too with questions.
What photos should I send?
Please send good clear jpeg photos. I cannot paint what I cannot see!
Close-ups and full body (for pets)
Outdoor or natural light is best.
A large pixel size if possible.
How long does it take you to paint my portrait rock?
It depends on where you are in the queue.
It shouldn't be more than a week or two in most cases.
Do the portraits have to be on a rock?
No!
I have small flat panels as small as 4" x 4" I'd be happy to paint on if you don't want a rock.
