Payton and the Rock 😁

[OneVolNation]

What a very pleasant surprise.

Big fan. We have our own modern day rock painting Michelangelo.

To me, and this is a good thing, they look older on the rock than they do in real life by about
10 years.

Maybe that means she saw the future, painted what she saw and they're both still here?

Smokey pictured as the big dog he is. lol. Love her work!

Did anyone else enter this thread cocked and ready to correct someone on “Payton” vs “Peyton”?

Not me, but that's funny though. Payton is the feminine version of Peyton like Stephanie and Stephen, I think?

There’s a reason for that.

Everyone has covered all of my thoughts on the pic, so I'll just sit back and read.

People that couldn't draw a stick man figure criticizing her painting SMH Well done Payton

That lady on the right was the lunchroom manager at my high school. She's retired now though. Nailed the hairnet.

She graduated last year and said she was through painting the rock. Looks like she couldn't resist taking it up again. Good for her. Perhaps, we'll see a few more this year.

She is an East Tn treasure.

I thought Peyton got busted for crack! Good grief OP!

 

[SalVolinus]

Awesome.

On the issue of branding and image:
1. Why in the hell was country roads playing during pregame, unacceptable.
2. The students throwing their fans onto the field was a bad look, especially after the PA.

Yeah I know, I'm old and cranky.

She's painting on a rock.
Sometimes the surface determines the features. if you're going over a bump in the surface, it's going to make a higher cheekbone Etc.
Like Volly and Behr said, I think she's a treasure.

She, being so familiar with that rock, would have compensated for / create the animorphic illusion that you are referring to, to make everything look right. The piece has issues as people have pointed out in their own way, but so what ... I like it, and I'm glad she did it. I bet it was fun too!

( This might look like a snarky comment, but it's not, Just mentioning the thought process to tackle the painting. )

At first glance, reminded me of a joke...punchline is "I don't know who them other two are, but that one in the middle is Willie Nelson!"

Is Smokey giving 2 thumbs up? If so, that's awesome!....It's awesome regardless. That would make it extra awesome, I guess.
