Peacock and Swirls
'Peacock and Swirls' is a coloring page that for some I reason I did not notice the peacock till I started filling in color. I used crayon for this piece of color art using blues, reds, greens and some different shades of these colors as well. Please comment for at times I tried to mix a few colors.

Floral Arrangement
'Floral Arrangement' is a coloring page that I used more crayons but using light shades of color from light pinks and blues to light green and yellow. There are a few red and dark blue to show some contrast in flowers. Please comment and share your thought it would be truly appreciated. When I exhibit these images it is like I am having a mini-art show.

Buttons or Medals
Here is a coloring page that I call 'Buttons and Medals' for the design reminded me of different kinds of these objects. I used vivid colors of red-orange, purples and blues and greens all in crayon. Crayon to me is a medium not only for kids for I like how bright some images appear in using this medium. Please share your thoughts and comments on this picture.

Hearts and Smiles
Here is a coloring page the I entitled 'Hearts and Smiles'. I mainly used red, pink, orange and a color the is named macaroni and cheese. I was using an old box of Crayola crayons and I am not sure if they still name colors of odd things, but I think that the color of macaroni and cheese finished the picture pretty well. Please share your thoughts on this one for it would really be appreciated.

Hats
'Hats' is one when I started thought it was a picture of small heads for some reason, but when I started coloring I noticed there were no faces under the hats. I used crayons from light to dark, as in peach and yellow to dark purple. If you colored this page how would you have seen it? Please comment.

Floral patterns
Here is a coloring page that I entitled 'Floral Patterns'. I used colored pencils and crayon on this image. I thought the gray in the outlines of shapes of the leaves was a good contrast to colors of the flowers in some of the circles and the berries throughout the picture. Please share your comments.

Paisley
'Paisley' an abstract of greens: yellow green and blue green crayon. Would you wear a pattern of tie of some sort in this patten? To me this pattern and the colors I chose would make a great tablecloth for a picnic table. What do you think? Please offer your comments.

More flowers
'More Flowers' another page that is a floral arrangement of what could be primroses or even carnations. I used purple, green, orange, blue and red crayon for the flowers and green, yellow, red and orange for the leaves for an autumnal sense in this abstract picture. This could be a matching colors activity for preschool children. Please comment.

Cat's Eye
How would you color this page if presented to you. I saw a page of eyes looking back at me and I thought why not color the eyes many different colors then just lightly use a gray crayon over the whole page. Though it is too late now I just had a thought that I should have used black to outline the noses and mouths of each of these cats. There are several cats with orange, black, blue, orange, yellow and green. I believe that this sheet could be used in preschool math to count how many cats have green or yellow eyes as an example. Please comment.

Flowers of One Kind
'Flowers of One Kind' is my title for this coloring page. I used my crayons of reds, yellow, orange and blues for the flowers and of course greens for the leaves and brown for the stems. Each flower has a partner for they are big and little. This one could be an art lesson on colors as well as a math lesson on big and little for preschool. I even tried various strokes to show my attempt at shading. Please comment.

All Shapes
'All Shapes' really is a picture of all kinds of shapes from circles, squares, rectangles, triangles and ovals. Shapes from very small to large. At times there were even more advanced shapes in the picture. See if you can find them if you want to. I used my actual crayons for a brighter and colorful picture that is totally abstract.

Geometrics
This is a page of circles in various odd positions and generally odd shapes throughout. I used crayons in this work for a more vivid view of these shapes using blues, reds, yellows and greens. Also, I tried to follow patterns with some of the odd shapes as with the blue, red, purple colors up and down the page. Please comment.
