Land Art Continues.....

I received a comment from DJ in regards to yesterday's blog with a great idea for my Land Art creation. Today, I returned to the art and am very pleased with the results.



DJ suggested adding a design which definitely gives it a much more finished look than previously. I used pine cones as a path through the rock gravel. The rocks define the edge. I have not decided which size rocks I like best or to keep both. Comments? It was raining today so some of the gravel is dark gray instead of the light blue-grey when it is dry.

It will change over time...as does life and Land Art.

DJ also suggested Richard Shilling's, a land artist, blog. I like his "Laurel Reflections" and "May Day Colour Totem."

THANKS DJ!

Rocks - My Latest Art Form

Living in Washington, every time the sun comes out, (very rare at this time of year) I must take advantage and continue on my landscaping project.

I love rocks!

I wanted to create a river around my deck in the front yard and decided to use various sizes of river rock. Because the rocks were so large, I could not shovel them into the wheel barrow. Instead, I placed each rock in the wheel barrow, dumped the load, and arranged them. In other words, I handled each rock twice! I call this my Zen rock meditation.

I found it to be another outlet for my creativity; my latest art form.

This is what it looks like:
