Elspeth McClean. She paints rocks. Well, she paints a variety of surfaces, but primarily it’s rocks. Rocks covered in dots. They are fantastic.
Occasionally Elspeth will paint zodiac signs on the rocks. Or maybe a bird.
But it’s mainly dots on rocks. I also like her oddly-shaped rocks.
And her mandalas.
Since there is a huge demand for her work (as there should be) Elspeth will randomly put a bunch up in her Etsy store with no warning. They sell out almost immediately. Someday maybe I will be lucky enough to have a rock by her.

The other artist is Xavier Casalta. He also works predominantly with dots but they are very different. Much smaller. And in greater numbers.
His ability to shade and craft letters using pointillism is impeccable.
I’m a little bit obsessed with Xavier’s skill. That takes a level of focus I don’t think I have.
You can order some of his stellar work through his website:
