“A flower blooms for its own joy.” —Oscar Wilde
I’ve started a new hobby known as adult coloring. It’s much harder than I expected it to be, especially because many of the members in the Facebook groups I’ve joined are professional-level artists, so of course I compare my efforts to theirs and see that I have a lot to learn! One of the groups has a weekly coloring contest, and the background in this picture is what I did this week. It’s a page from a book called “The Best of Color It”. The challenge was to choose any picture you like, and to color it with only four colors. I used blue, green, brown and red pencils, and took advantage of the white paper to include white in the picture too.
This Blythe Middie is Francoise Ananassa. Middies are a much better size to pose with coloring book pages than my beloved Neos, so I will probably be taking more pictures with Middies now.
