Stones
***
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.

This week I am inspired by Stones. Stones are Rocks, Gems, Strong, Old and Solid from the Earth and Beyond; which can be Metaphoric to all of Us. Yet "Nothing is Set in Stone". What are the Gems, Stones and Rock Solid things in our lives? Some people handpaint stones; which is an inspiring idea.
I always loved the Stonehenge and its mystery. So I painted a Mini Stonehenge and plan to paint another one about 6 x 9 inches (17 x 24 cm) this week.

| This is Mini Stonehenge 4 x 3 inches (10.5 x 8 cm). I wanted to draw and paint Stonehenge. I like mini art. I plan to make a bigger one about 6 x 9 inches (17 x 24 cm) |

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention.
To not be like your parents.
To not be like your friends.
To be yourself.
To cut yourself out of stone.

A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.
