Gansett Rocks
Amid the peaks of Narragansett’s craggy coast, passersby
are discovering colorful gifts of positivity. And
they’re all thanks to a couple with a lot of heart and a
knack for painting in miniature. “My partner has painted
rocks off and on throughout the last few years to leave
on hiking trails, but we started painting more consistently
after COVID forced the state to shut down,” says
one-half of the Gansett Rocks team, who share their
designs on Instagram and prefer to remain anonymous.
“We both liked the idea of leaving the rocks for others
to find while spreading good vibes during a tough time.”
Their personal favorites? A Moroccan pouf-like design
and one with the phrase, “After the storm comes the
rainbow” complete with a happy cloud. “Overall, the
both of us just wanted to spread kindness and happiness
with the hope that others will then pay it forward.”
