Madison Taylor Art - 2024-4-30

 My favorite color is purple so I chose it for these beautiful flowers.

I'm quickly learning that it's best not to erase on the black background 

because it shows up well.  YIKES!

I changed my mind from green to a goldenrod for the leafy plant....

and there are the eraser marks bigger than day!

I'm happy to be coloring again!

Now that I have a cleaning lady coming in every other week, 

I have lots more time on my hands to just enjoy life....

and coloring is one of my joys!

Have a blessed day!

I'm really enjoying coloring in this black background coloring book!

This time I chose 3 colors and that's it!

I did not blend at all and really like the look it produced!

It gave 'movement' to the flowers!

I even left some white showing through to give the flowers  more variation. 

I chose to use pinky-salmon/peach colors.

I love how this turned out!

I love the inspirational words!

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm already working on another page and hope it comes out good enough to post!

Have a blessed day,

 I discovered an awesome coloring book!

I've never colored against a black background before. 

It really makes the colors VIBRANT!

I chose to color this page first because of the inspirational words. 

Each page has inspirational words with it.

"I am filled with joy" really resonated with me!

This was a practice page.

I'm going to try to coordinate the colors better on future colorings. 

I was having so much fun trying out different colors to see how they would look - LOL!

I was able to enhance the background to more of a jet black,

 rather than a dark charcoal that it actually is,

by using the Auto Smart Tone tool in Photoshop. 

I wondered how other colorings I've seen have such dark backgrounds!

I LOVED this coloring book so much 

that I've ordered 3 more by Madison Taylor! 

They are:

Thanks for visiting!

and

Have a wonderfully happy & blessed day!

Birthday Card for a Sweet 92 year old Lady

 I made this quick, but pretty card in a 4-1/2" x 6" size

for a sweet lady turning 92 in a few days.

It's always good to hold on to pieces of 'scrap'

because you never know what could be created with it!

A Happy Birthday sentiment is surrounded with cute tiny flowers.

I say it all the time....

A card or a scrapbook page just isn't complete without

 something beautiful from ReneaBouquets!

I'm partial to her butterflies & dragonflies.

So dainty and beautiful!

Thanks for stopping by

and as I always wish for you...

Have a blessed day!

This is the first coloring I've done in the beautiful coloring book

Enchanted Earth, illustrated by Melpomeni Chatzipanagiotou.

I LOVE her coloring books. 

This one just came out in 2023

and it's my favorite!

I chose to color this floral ram skull because it's so interesting and beautiful.

I almost forgot how very relaxing coloring can be!

This one was fun to color and I think it's jump-started me back into coloring again. 

It's been 10 months since my last coloring.

WOW!

Thanks so much for stopping in for a peek!

Have a very blessed day,
