r/PaintedRocks is a subreddit with 13k members. The most common kinds of discussions are ideas and self-promotion, and the community frequently discusses rocks, painting, painted, art, and rock.
The concept is simple. You paint a rock, you hide a rock, you spread some cheer. If you find a rock, you can either keep it, or rehide it.
This originated in Vancouver. It has spread to many cities since then.
Post your rock finds/designs here.
