Rock Painting

-

 Hello-

I have been a 'Rock Painter' for as long as I can remember. As a young kid, I painted them as Christmas gifts. We used a lot more paper when I was a kid than we do today and people-mostly family- seemed to find my painted rocks most useful as paper weights.

As a teenager, I found painting rocks enjoyable when I didn't have anything else handy to paint on. When I was a kid, I painted fun, colorful rocks but as a teenager I painted serious rocks, with serious scenes on them such as old barns and other types of landscape scenes that were embedded in my mind.

However you choose to paint a rock is up to you. Give it a try! Fun Fact: Art is good for the mind, the spirit, the body and the soul!! 

How the Brain is Affected by Art

I'm thinking about placing the rocks that I paint around the city for people to find. Maybe it will make someone's day or at the very least, bring a smile to their face. Maybe a child will find my painted rock and think it's beautiful! There are endless possibilities of where my rock might end up. Maybe you will find one!

Below are some rock painting ideas that I found online. 

I will post my very own painted rocks next week. 

If you decide to paint rocks, please take pictures and send me your painted rocks!

Summertime Sadness

You're Not Alone (Click👆To Learn More) Summer can be an awesome time to discover new things and have fun with family and friends.  Sometimes, though, summer brings depression and anxiety especially for those who struggle throughout the year. Seasonal  depression  during the summer may sound oxymoronic. After all, isn’t seasonal depression more common during the winter and shouldn’t we be happy to officially be out of school for the summer?  Seasonal depression, although more common in the winter, also occurs in the summer.  Many experts believe this is related to changes in schedule and the sleep-wake cycles with the longer days and shorter nights, as well as the hot, humid temperatures.  Specific symptoms of summer depression often include loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, weight loss and  anxiety .
