Another rock head. Here's Trump as a hand painted river rock with Sculpey hair glued on. Sculpey hands. And flat sheets of colored foam cut out to illustrate the body.

Cartoon pooch painted on nicely tumbled beach rock

What kid doesn't love a fridge magnet?
What a joy to paint. Smoothly tumbled, round beach rock, a perfect canvas for my homage to  a cartoon dog, with maybe with a little "Silly Symphonies" influence? The back was flatish. Perfect for glueing on a magnet. Easy-peasy gift for a little boy. Got to love a child's smile!
