Painting Rocks and Sand

I recently purchased a wonderful DVD by Birgit O'Connor about painting rocks and sand. Here is my first attempt at rock and sand painting. I really enjoyed the process, relaxed and fun. No worries, only experimental. I think I am getting older and wiser; I just don't stress out as much over my art anymore. Maybe it's a level of acceptance and practice? Anyway- here are my rocks. I'll paint them again and again. And I'll add pastel when I get there...
