Nice stones, Val!
Do I recognize five snakes, a start and the house of a snail among three lines of stave? Anyhow, great painting!

And nices stones, Katerina (blue :-) 
Your fishy blue stones remind me of our colleague mail artist Amuldo, she painted 55 stones (with a squirrel pictured) and left these stones behind somewhere in the wild, for instance near other works of art. See her 'verfstenen' = 'paint stones' at her blog.
What did happen to your fish?

These runes are far from ruined. I was at the local beach yesterday, and looked for stones and shells. Alas there were no interesting ones there are at all. Whenever I go to the UK, I follow the Jewssh tradition and place a small stone on my parents' graves.

Meral has posted some really good photos of her signs art: do look at them, folks!

Val I attended a workshop with a Lakota Medicine Woman when I was living in Virginia and she told us that the stones are the bones of the earth. She then sang this beautiful song honoring the stones. The stones here in the painting remind me of Runes. I love rocks of all type and keep them around me all the times.  Love symbols and signs.

I just tried googling, "Translate 'İşaretleri seviyorum'" ... first time I've ever tried this ... and it means "I love signs".  So cool.

Although all stones come from the Creator, these are not biblical stone.

Lynne: is there a connection, perchance, between sstone signs from the Universe and the 'Mad River'? (Why is it so called)

Amy: I have seen the 'code' for these signs -- 'keep away', 'friendly' 'will call the police', etc. Often they are written in chalk at the entrance to a house or garden

Katerina: well if you paint 3 a day, there's enough stones on that beach to keep you VERY busy.

Thanks, forlks, for your comments!

And there is the art-of-stone-painting, too. Very nice "signs", Val. Earth colors!

Sometimes the Aegean Sea washes ashore many, many smooth stones likes these

and we enjoy painting them at the seaside shack (blue...of course :-):

Signs are still used by indigent person traveling the dangerous roads of the homeless...these are not stones but graffiti of sorts. Unless you can interpret them, they are a lost language....

I like this. Sometimes I find stones like this at the Mad River where I walk weekly. Will have to take some pix of them. I like to think of them as messages from the Universe, or messages (obviously) from a distant time.
