Kiwi pebble

Wow! How cute!
I’m amazed by wonderfully talented painters. What a great job!

Thanks a lot, Jan! They turned out a lot of them;-)

Ein sehr schönes Andenken...

Besten Dank, Udo! Ist ein Kühlschrankmagnet;-)

This is beautifully painted, Gudrun.

Thanks very much, Amelia! For my clumsy fingers this pebble would have been too small to paint;-)

Ravissante.. HFF et bon weekend.

Merci beaucoup, Malik! Have a good and safe weekend!

Schöne Erinnerung !

Danke vielmals, Ulrich!

Superbe pierre artistique !
HFF et Bon weekend. Amitiés

Merci, Madeleine!

Lovely picture and beautifully painted.

Thank you so much, Rosa!

I love this one. If it desappears during the night it will be because I have stolen it, LOL!

Obrigada, Isabel! Haha, there are plenty more where that came from! (In Hokitika, I mean...)

Too far away, and anyhow with the lockdown it is out of range...

Yes, even without lockdown the 24-hour -flight is offputting...

Indeed, it would have to be for longer than a forthnight stay!!!!

I visited NZ 3 times, always for 3 weeks, but I'm dreaming of a much longer stay...

Great, little, beautiful work.

Thanks a lot, John!

Joli comme tout !***************

Merci beaucoup, Jocelyne!

Eine schöne Erinnerung!

Danke, Dany! Ich hätte gerne mehr eingekauft, mitgemommen, aber mit Fluggepäck ist man so eingeschränkt;-)

Love the pebble Gudrun

Thanks very much, TOZ!

Wirklich ein außergewöhnliches Andenken. Vielen Dank fürs Zeigen, Gudrun ! Wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende !

Schönen Dank, Percy! Euch ebenfalls ein schönes, sonniges Wochenende!

Oooh, I love this Gudrun............the artwork on the pebble is exquisitely beautiful. A great find and very well captured.

I don't know if you've researched this Gudrun, but it fascinated me so I did. It looks like the work of a chap called William Steyn. He doesn't seem to have a website, but there's lots of his stuff online. (Just search for William Steyn, stonepainter). Of course it's entirely possible that all stone painters paint in this style.......in which case just ignore me :-))

Thank you so much, Keith! And thanks for searching for it, that was the artist I bought it from! I knew it was in Hokitika but couldn't remember the name...

You're welcome :-) Every now and then something catches my eye and sets me off on a search for for more info!

That also happens to me sometimes, it's half of the fun of Ipernity:-)

very nice!

Danke vielmals, cp!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I love this!!! Marvelous artwork that makes me want to paint a rock myself! Nice job with your composition and lighting too. :)

Thanks a lot, Janet! It even has a magnet so you can use it on your fridge:-)

bel oeuvre sur cette pierre, une merveile artistique, bon weekend toutes mes amitiés

Merci beaucoup, vero! A sunny and healthy weekend to you too!

Hi Gudrun
A very nice picture, and great to share the local culture!
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Thanks very much, Peter! As far as travel souvenirs go this is one of the good ones:-) The NZ West coast has quite a few good artisans.

Ein sehr schönes kleines Kunstwerk!

Herzlichen Dank, Wiebke!

Das ist wirklich ein kleines Kunstwerk, Gudrun! Unglaublich, dass der Stein nur 3 cm lang (?) ist!
Viele Grüße und ein schönes, sicheres Wochenende!
