From Library Journal
These are two decorative craft books from authors with considerable track records. Cagle, with 14 books and articles in Good Housekeeping and Redbook to her credit, here presents 31 projects applying fruit and flowers to baskets, birdhouses, boxes, kitchenware, and planters. Surface preparation, transfer patterns, painting, and glazing methods are covered in a glossy format. Wellford narrows her focus to painting only animals, and painting them only on rocks. Her first book on this topic (The Art of Painting Animals on Rocks, North Light, 1994) sold a remarkable 85,000 copies. These cute skunks on rocks, toads on rocks, mice on rocks, and cheese on rocks are fun and easy. Both books are recommended for popular craft collections.

If you wanted to paint more animal rocks, here they are!
For those of you who couldn't get enough of "The Art of Painting Animals on Rocks" this book is the answer. After painting most of the animals in the first book, I wondered about the best way to paint a skunk, squirrel, or wolf...and here they are in this book! There are especially good step-by-step instructions for painting bears, cougars, tigers, lions, and wolves. When I sell my rocks at craft fairs, I can never have too many frogs or mice! All three of the author's books have been a great inspiration to me, and I highly recommend this one if you are looking for more animal painting ideas.

Another Treasure!
Another amazing book! Lin Wellford makes painting animals so easy. Everyone can make these adorable rock creatures. This book, Painting More Animals on Rocks, is the second 'animal on rocks' book. I really hope she comes out with more because these books are great!

Painting More animals on Rocks shows you how to make very cute mice, bears, wolves, wild cats, penguins, cows, and so much more. Your rock creatures nearly look real when you are finished painting them. I made some frogs for my flower garden, a few mice, and a penguin so far.

Even if you have never painted before, you can do these projects. The book has full color, nearly step by step photos with the step by step instructions. I just love it.

Great book! Easy for everyone!
I had been interested in Lin Wellford's books for a long time, but never really painted an animal rock. I bought this book, ready to try it. First I did a frog, which was very simple.
The furry animals use a script liner, and that is not my favorite paint brush, so I was a little nervous that I couldn't achieve the fur strokes.
I went ahead and tried a squirrel, and I was so surprised at how easy the fur turned out to be. I've painted a few more animals since then, and they are very easy to do. Very watery paint and a #1 script liner (the shorter one) makes it very easy.
If you are looking to start painting rocks, don't hesitate...this is the perfect book! I would recommend it to everyone who is interest in painting!
