Personal "found art" project

FOUND ART PROJECT-- This is one of my things. I have been doing it for years.
I like to leave painted pieces everywhere I go either on wood or stone or paper and imagine someone finds them and gets a smile from it. I get to practice my drawing & someone gets a free piece of art.

"Lupine" was left in a campground in Central Oregon on the river trail by the Metolius River in July. Since then I have decided to continue my "left art" but sign it with Arbriel. Last week on the Oregon coast, I painted messages on stones suitable for skipping, a sport I enjoy, signed them with Arbriel, my "Art Ego", rather than "e" which is the first letter of my name, and skipped them into the surf. I hope someone finds one when the tide goes out.

My husband was the one that insisted I begin documenting my work & so I have been taking pictures of them, sometimes where they get left.
