Rock Painting



Rock Painting! T.Joe is posing behind his welding table that he made with brush in hand and a landscaping stone that I painted a basket of flowers on. His brother, D.D. is looking on as his granddaughter is learning to paint rocks.

T.Joe and I are going to join Lin Wellford at Silver Dollar City, an amusement park in Branson, Missouri September 12th thru the 27th (except for Mondays and Tuesdays) to demonstrate painting rocks. (Lin Wellford has 8 or 9 'How to Paint Rocks' books published.) Well...T.Joe is actually going to be 'toting the rocks' and seeing the sights in the park while Lin and I paint the rocks. What fun! They have actually approved my time off at work to do this - Wednesday thru Friday both weeks. I have no idea what part of the park we will be set up in. They will fit us with costumes Saturday morning, the 12th and we will have orientation at 8:30 that morning. The park opens at 9 am on Saturdays and 10 am on the other days. I plan to take lots of unpainted rocks to work on...and some painted ones to sell. Lin suggested I take some painted Fish rocks...so, I do have few painted. Come see us if you are in the area.
