Indian Paintings is a historic archaeological site located near Maiden Spring, Tazewell County, Virginia. These pictographs are on a rock face high on Paint Lick Mountain. Stretched in a horizontal line along the irregular exposure is a series of simple images representing thunderbirds, human figures, deer, arrows, trees, and the sun, all painted in a red medium using iron oxide.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.[1]
