Scorpion coloring page
The request for a scorpion coloring page was greeted with rather a lot of snide snickering in this house – both my husband and my roommate are Scorpios. So in the finest tradition of scorpy revenge – I made hubby find the reference photos I used for the scorpion coloring pages. He did pretty good if I must admit. Enjoy!

This coloring page of a huge stand of prickly pear cactus growing up a mountainside here in New Mexico was created in response to the request for trees and shrubs. We don’t really have a lot of trees – but these huge prickly pears always amaze me. Hubby took the reference photo for me. It is a very complex line drawing so probably best for older children and adults to color. Here is a link to the prickly pear cactus in rocks coloring page with a thumbnail and a thumbnail of the reference photo linked to the large one on Flickr if you want to use it.

Here is another tree coloring page created from one of my original watercolor paintings. I loved the tiny little tree coming up right at the feet of the big mighty oak, as if the big tree were protecting the little fellow. Here is the link to the tree coloring page, along with a thumbnail and a thumbnail with link to the painting posted on Flickr in case you’d like a reference.

It occurred to me that you might be wondering why the last two paintings have “fre-ecards.com” on the bottom. I used to own and run that website featuing my own art on eCards. Sadly when my old webhost went out of business I was not able to get the eCards set back up. I still own the domain and someday when I’ve got a spare $200 or so to pay for the software and installation, I’ll get it going again.
You guys are always challenging me with your requests! In the last two days I’ve gotten three exciting requests that have made my heart warm, made me think, and challenged my drawing ability. Keep ‘em coming! You can always email requests to me – be sure and put Color Your Own in the subject line so they don’t get shuffled off to junk mail tho.
Linda wrote to tell me her husband loves to color trees and shrubs. I love trees, too – especially ones with very interesting shapes. I told my husband about the request and he responded by taking some photos (which is what he loves to do) and I’ll be sharing those later. The first thing I did was go look back in the archives for some old watercolor paintings I had done of trees. This is the first coloring page – a tree fallen over a stream. One of those hardy willows, when I drew it it still had green leaves on it! Here’s a link to the fallen tree coloring page as well as a thumbnail linked to the painting on Flickr so you have a reference if you’d like one.

Javanese Kitten coloring page
Now see, I DO listen to you guys. It has been mentioned more than once that I simply do not have enough cat coloring pages at Color-Your-Own.com. And you’re right – so I’ll be working on that this week (among other things).
Please enjoy:

Girl Hugging Pony Free Printable Coloring Page
Have you ever wondered if I color my own coloring pages? Well, actually, I do. Many of them are line arts that I drew for an illustration or clip art that I needed for a webpage or a story – and this little girl and her pony are in an origianl fairy tale at Demented-Pixie.com. They were created and colored entirely on the computer – digital art.
On my main blog, Foovay’s Cauldron, you can see the Betta Fish coloring page I printed out and colored with colored pencils. This is part of that first batch of ten files I sent to Jim of eBook Connection to create a sort of “test” coloring book. When I got it back, I printed it out. I must say – I was very favorably impressed.
Which nicely segues into my next subject. The poll results are in. Of eleven votes, six said they would buy and download the smaller one subject coloring books even if they were priced at one dollar each. Five just wanted the big coloring book with all the images. Therefore – I am going to create and offer both the small one subject books and the big one. Renaming the files, creating tables of contents and covers will take up all the rest of my day.
Keep an eye on this blog – I’m going to run a nice little promotion giving that first sample coloring book away for free to celebrate making the coloring books available!
If you spend a lot of time looking for clipart, preferably public domain clip art that you can use for your webpages, blogs, Squidoo lenses, and craft projects – I’ve created a new Squidoo lens that is just for you. Public Domain Clipart lists all of my favorite sources of public domain clip art, that I have discovered in hours and hours of surfing for just the right image over the last ten years. Hope it will help you and perhaps save you a little time!
