Southwest Cacti Mandala

 A cool mandala of various cacti found in the southwest United States.
Including a purple Prickly Pear Cactus that I never knew existed!




I enjoyed this coloring.
Have a great evening all!
Lisa.

Smile at everyone that you see

A very fun and quite funny page to color! 
I was thumbing through my coloring books to pick out something simple to color
and this one made me laugh out loud!


This is from a really neat coloring book I got for my 60th birthday from my sister. 

The advice given holds quite true!  LOL!
I believe this would be something my mother would agree with...
basically, kill 'em with kindness.



I LOVE it!
Have a great day!

Rainbow Jellyfish Waltz

 Another interesting drawing by the talented Kerby Rosanes!
With all the flowers and unusual little creatures,
I decided that this two-page spread needed to be very colorful.


I colored the left page to be the male jellyfish.


The right page is the female jellyfish.

Throughout Kerby's drawings, 
he always has cute & unusual creatures.
I decided this one must be a thunderstorm with cool sunglasses. (ha!)


Check out the skull and cross bones!


A cute little hummingbird.

Perhaps a catepillar with a face?

A tea pot nestled in the foliage with a koi fish & strange little creatures.

So many kinds of flowers, greenery and a tea cup & saucer.

More beautiful flowers & a butterfly.

Thanks for viewing!
Have a great weekend,
Lisa

Koi - Love & Friendship

 Love & Friendship.
That's what the koi fish symbolizes in the Japanese culture.
Ken Matsuda has captured intricate, stunning details
of both the koi fish and the leaves, vines & flowers.
I had to sharpen my colored pencils to have extra fine points in some areas!
Challenging, but oh so wonderfully relaxing!

I "created" the spots on the fish.


Check out the impeccable details drawn by this artist!


Thanks for coming by!
Have a great day,
Lisa
