Nature

The T. rex within

While on vacation, I picked up a rock and it told me what it was meant to be. A T. rex of course!

I took it home and got ready to paint a  Tyrannosaurus rex. All of the ridges and depressions seemed to be in exactly the right spots. Even the greenish color was right. I darkened a few spots and enhanced others. I added scales with a tiny brush. The crooked T. rex grin fit right into the contours of the rock. The nostril and eye placed themselves along a ridge and depression.

Look past external appearances and you may find magic hidden within.
