The Alphabet Paintings - Z

So here I am, the last of the alphabet paintings :)
Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend. 

For my Z painting, I chose to paint

Zen Rock Garden



There's something quite fascinating about this painting, because if you stare at it long enough the rocks seem to levitate!

Thank you all so much for sticking with me through the Alphabet series.
I hope you've enjoyed them, and if you would like to see them all together go HERE

Now I'm off to visit all your blogs :) 
Ta-ta for now!

    What a wonderful peaceful ending of the series! And indeed I can see them levitate! :) Those Zen rocks are so fascinating.

    Hi Pat,
    Fascinating rock garden. It looks so peaceful there. I like the presence of red rock in the pile. Beautiful.

    And when you are done, the alphabet tells us a bit about you, don't you agree? Anyway my favorites would be the canoe, diamond, fluke, Missy, Oscar...but wait, that would tell you a bit about me! Wonderful alphabet and I commend you for completing it! (That says a bit about you also).

    Not only that, but the dots on the right start to move! How did you do that???

    What a great idea for a 'z' drawing! And such an interesting subject to paint. I really love the light effects :0)

    Wow! You are very creative, Pat. I'd never thought of a Rock Garden for Zen. Now I'll wait to see the rocks levitating! xx

    Thanks, Judy. Its a lovely optical illusion, isn't it ? :)

    Thank you Cora. I thought the red would give it a little more interest :) xx

    Thank you Susan. I don't know what my alphabet says about me, apart from my subjects are diverse :lol: xx

    Thanks Tito, glad you liked it :) xx

    Thank you Sonia, I like to be a little different :) xx

    So they do, Kathryn! Pale background, while the wash is wet, flick in a darker sticky mix of the same colour - and that's how I did it! xx

    Thank you Sandra. I really enjoyed painting this one, funnily enough, it was calm to paint, also :) xx

    Thanks Anamaria. I'm happy when anyone thinks me creative :) xx

    Thank you Linda. Its at least not a zebra :lol: xx

    I love it! It's got a surreal, Roger Dean album cover style to it (showing my age now). Do you have a real physical Zen garden then, Pat?

    What a finish to your series. It's quite something to see the full series all together . Now I'm wondering what you will get up to next :-)

    Those rocks really do seem to levitate, don't they? Very cool!

    I am going to 'catch up' now on your blogs. No need to reply to them. I'll say something when something strikes my fancy. xx
