Paisley
'Paisley' an abstract of greens: yellow green and blue green crayon. Would you wear a pattern of tie of some sort in this patten? To me this pattern and the colors I chose would make a great tablecloth for a picnic table. What do you think? Please offer your comments.

More flowers
'More Flowers' another page that is a floral arrangement of what could be primroses or even carnations. I used purple, green, orange, blue and red crayon for the flowers and green, yellow, red and orange for the leaves for an autumnal sense in this abstract picture. This could be a matching colors activity for preschool children. Please comment.

Cat's Eye
How would you color this page if presented to you. I saw a page of eyes looking back at me and I thought why not color the eyes many different colors then just lightly use a gray crayon over the whole page. Though it is too late now I just had a thought that I should have used black to outline the noses and mouths of each of these cats. There are several cats with orange, black, blue, orange, yellow and green. I believe that this sheet could be used in preschool math to count how many cats have green or yellow eyes as an example.

Flowers of One Kind
'Flowers of One Kind' is my title for this coloring page. I used my crayons of reds, yellow, orange and blues for the flowers and of course greens for the leaves and brown for the stems. Each flower has a partner for they are big and little. This one could be an art lesson on colors as well as a math lesson on big and little for preschool. I even tried various strokes to show my attempt at shading. Please comment.

All Shapes
'All Shapes' really is a picture of all kinds of shapes from circles, squares, rectangles, triangles and ovals. Shapes from very small to large. At times there were even more advanced shapes in the picture. See if you can find them if you want to. I used my actual crayons for a brighter and colorful picture that is totally abstract.

Geometrics
This is a page of circles in various odd positions and generally odd shapes throughout. I used crayons in this work for a more vivid view of these shapes using blues, reds, yellows and greens. Also, I tried to follow patterns with some of the odd shapes as with the blue, red, purple colors up and down the page. Please comment.

All Kinds of Flowers
Here is a picture from another adult coloring book that was just a drawing of many flowers, berries and leaves. I used my colored pencils bring color to these blooms. As you can see the colors are pink, blues, yellow, greens and orange. I tried to smudge some of the colors to make some of the flowers more realistic if that is the right word. Please comment.

Lizard
Who likes lizards? Lizards are usually greens or browns, but I made this one light blue, yellow, purple and yes for realistic sense brown and green. There this lizard sits on a log seemingly watching a dragonfly hovering over summer flowers of yellow, orange and red. I kind of pictured this lizard swishing his tail in hopes of bringing the dragonfly closer that is why I used light blue for most of the tail for a sense of flow.

Horse
This is a picture of a horse that I pictured as a unicorn minus one horn. With the use of vivid colors of yellow, blue, green, and red I think I pulled off the unicorn idea. I could see a unicorn even though it is a horse walking through the flowers of red, pink, blue and purple picking up more colors on an autumn day with the wind blowing for how I colored the sky to show movement of the sun and clouds. Please comment.

Giraffe
Here is a giraffe that I pictured as one of jungle royalty for how some of the shapes reminded me of jewels so I used oranges, yellow, light blue, purple and greens in both the mother and the child. I used kind of a light green for the leaves that the mother was pulling down to eat and share under the pink flowers of Spring and orange flowers on the ground.

Frog and Butterfly
Hope you like my psychedelic frog and butterfly. The butterfly flying just out of reach of the frog on his lily pad of two shades of green. While the flowers rising in background are in a soft pink. The frog shows that he wonders why the butterfly looks like him for it has the same coloring as he does of blues, pinks, yellows and greens. I did not color the white space and to show the water I just outlined the water lines in a dark blue. Please comment.
