Green Forest, AR (PRWEB) April 8, 2006 -- "Like picking treasure up off the ground", is how legions of rock painting fans describe their somewhat quirky art form. With nearly one million books sold, Lin Wellford is known as 'the mother of modern rock painting'. Her first book, The Art of Painting Animals on Rocks, was the start of a bestselling series that has introduced hundreds of thousands of people to the joys of turning rocks into art.

"I've had many people tell me that they had no idea that they had any artistic talent until they painted their first rock."
