Impossible Structures


After a lovely ride up Boulder Creek and witnessing a man creating impossible looking rock cairns, I was drawn back to the place. This time armed with pencils and a sketchbook, I attempted to capture it. This painting is of my memory of the rock structures with the intention of remembering this inspiring creation. 

Acrylic on canvas

I met the builder a year later, and you can see real life pictures of his work balancing rocks at his site:

  1. SO COOL!!!!!! Rock cairns are so neat, and it's also neat how you did this from your imagination.

    Here's my blog...

    It has some silly stuff on it, but that's art I guess.
