The Nearsighted Fox and The Fashion Forward Turtle.

Happy Saturday!  Time for a new coloring book challenge!  I hope you have your favorite coloring tools ready to play today, because I have two new coloring book pages to share with you.  The idea behind this activity is to just play.  Have fun and remember how much you loved coloring when you were a child.   Let your imagination go wild, color outside the lines, make a pink sky, color the trees purple! Create stories for the characters as you go along, and make them come alive.  Just click on the image and then save to your computer.  You can color digitally, like I did here in my examples, or print off to paint, draw, scribble all over.  Please keep to the honor code of using my images and not reproduce, alter, or use in anyway other than your own personal use.  Have Fun!

Coloring Book Page #4

If you missed the first 2 pages in the series, you can find them under my PRINT Tab at the top!  So here are my versions of this weeks color challenge.

 This is Sally the Fox.  She is a shy little gal, and a bit nearsighted.  She needs to update her prescription on her spectacles, but keeps forgetting, and so will often bump into the trees as she takes her morning walks through the forest.  BUMP! Here come the leaves tumbling down on top of her.

This is Mortimer the turtle and his best friend Pickles.  Mortimer has a flair for fashion, and is a typical turtle, slowly taking his time to enjoy the sweet flowers along his path.  Pickles the song bird doesnt mind.  He loves his slow Saturday walks with Mortimer, just gives him lots of time to practice his singing along the way.

I'd love to hear your imaginative versions of the stories this week, feel free to post in the comments here and share links your colored pages here too!

Dont forget that I am having a big Sale in my Etsy Shop through Monday in celebration of the 3 day weekend and Back to School redecorating time.  Stop by HERE and check out my SALE section with lots of reduced prices on original works and artsy jewelry.  Then use code LABORDAY to get an additional 15% off everything.

A Day Spent Inside The Ocean

Part of our family visit to Atlanta included the infamous aquarium, you know, the one with the largest actual aquarium tank and all the wale sharks that kept dying when they first opened.  Well, I was happy to say that all their fishy friends are now very happy and healthy and we had a marvelous family day together.  The colors and shapes of the ocean were gorgeous, and though it doesnt do them justice, here are a few shots from that experience.

  I couldn't resist and had to post this pic.  All ready to go inside, patiently waiting for Grandpa to park the car.  I guess he decided to take a picture of his "goo-goo" shoes because he loves them so much.

 A close encounter with a young sea turtle. We spent a solid 30 minutes playing with this little guy through the glass.

 Nothing quite as spectacular as watching the white Belugas glide through the water.

So many shapes and sizes...

 An unexpected smile spotted in the crowd.

Let the Feeding Frenzy Begin!

My little man and I enjoying the show together.  I just love sharing moments like these with him.

Here's a silly bit of my own fishy creativity from my art journal, inspired by our lovely day under the sea.  (Psst...because someone is starting swimming lessons this week).
