Thank u good find – lovely
These make me smile… 🙂
Is it not true that one must be very careful about painting and or removing rocks or other natural items from our Public Beaches? Just curious, does anyone know for sure?
This is not art unless commissioned by an official representative body of the public. As it is, it’s graffiti at best and vandalism at worst. Not an appropriate place for so called “art.” Private property ___ different story.
It is a bad idea to promote this painting of the rocks on our beaches. Those few nice pictures may be Nice to look at but what could it lead to??? Our beaches, the soothing natural environment littered with lots of painted rocks of all sorts of descriptions? As it goes with graffiti it can turn ugly fast. Oh, it is a disaster in the making. It is NOT NICE.
My thoughts exactly, I would hate to see this happen to any of our Beautiful beach areas.
The artist Gabby has a talent, but: please, please, please keep paint pigments, colored markers, etc. out of the waterfront. Marine environments for our many and varied sea creatures are not made for these human enhancements.
Relax everybody. The oils from the paints is pretty benign compared to oils from the ferry. Oil bubbles up from the bottom of the ocean even. This town is nuts.
Gabby is indeed a talented inspiring artist, her work shows her ability to invoke a sense of positivity and calm. A different medium and location would be more suitable and so I do agree with the others: please no art like this in our parks.
Picnic Point County Park has been set aside as a place of nature where we go for scenery and the tranquility that natures offers. The County also asks that visitors “Leave No Trace”; this means, please visit, but please don’t leave your mark……her artwork is such a mark. They are a visual disruption to the natural tranquility. I am surprised that the County has let them remain. And I hope Edmonds News realizes this is not appropriate to publish, as it encourages others to follow. Let nature’s art be the only art at our Parks.
