This excellent rendition of Pablo Picasso’s “The Old Guitarist” c. 1903 is another offering by the Oberlin High School Art Club. The Art Club has painted the rocks many times over the years.

Update: 3/5/09 Katie Laushman sent in this view of the painting with some background: “Attached is a picture of the rock I painted with Stevie T. on May 29, 2008. We were seniors at Oberlin High School, and members of the OHS Art Club. Art Club used to always paint the rock, but in my four years, we never had, and so as a senior, and art club president, I decided we should finally do it. I picked Picasso’s Old Guitarist because it’s recognizable as a famous painting, and not extremely hard to do. Stevie and I were the only ones who ended up painting it after school, and we did it with acrylic paint. “

And on the back of the Picasso rock:

A white squirrel was also out on Tappan Square that day.
