Being a Grammy has its benefits and one of those is being able to spend some one on one time with your grandchild. We had an overnighter with each of our two older grandsons living here in Florida and when Eli the second oldest was here we had art time together. Eli loved my cat Solomon so I decided to paint a picture of Solomon on a rock for him. Now this was the first time I had ever painted on a rock and wasn't sure how to begin. I started by finding a rock painting of a cat that looked like my Lynx Point and making a copy sized to fit the rock. With the outline in place the painting started. This did not do my Solomon justice since he was such a beautiful cat and I decided that if I ever did this again I would use my own photo and figure it out from there but none the less Eli loved it.

Now the older grandson Miles was actually the first to stay over with us but we had different activities planned with him which did not include rock painting. When he saw the rock that was painted for his brother Eli he also requested I paint one for him. He asked for a Solomon rock but I thought he might want something more suited to his liking so in asking he decided a Bald Eagle was in order. With a little experience under my belt this one came together a lot better and Miles was pleased.
