Burrrr!! Winter is Here!

Posted on by Terrie

Welcome to Winter!Horse drawing

We woke up this morning to icy snow everywhere. The temperature dipped to 29 degrees and we are expecting more icy rain through the week. This is a good time to stay indoors and avoid driving anywhere on those scary slippery roads. That being said, I have decided to stay home and take some time to write this blog while keeping the heater under my desk!!

We have been doing some revisions on my first three coloring books. You can order them by clicking on BOOKS on my website page.

Here is another example of one of the images in my fourth coloring book, which will be published this month. This is called “Psychedelic Horse”. It is one of my favorite drawings and was so much fun to work on.  I am sure you will spend hours coloring this whimsical horse and forgetting all about that cold wintery weather outside.

Stay warm! Blessings,

Three Little Kittens

Good Morning!

Here is one of my newest images for my fourth coloring book, Mild Things of the World. These three kittens are having a fun time romping around and playing today. They would love for you to join them.

I am now working on my “Five Chickens-“OK, What happened here?!” image to be added to Mild Things of the World.  It is not completed yet, but it gives you an idea as to how I work.  I think you are going to enjoy coloring these mild animals and seeing their many mischievous pranks and fun times.

I have found that my stress level has gone down considerably since working on these new images  and know your’s will too. Give yourself a break from this chaotic world and curl up with a cup of tea (or coffee, or …?)  and enjoy some real relaxing quiet time coloring.

Blessings,

SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

Donkey Drawing ProgressWow! We are almost through winter and entering springtime. With all of the rain and snow we have had it will feel wonderful seeing the sunshine again. I took my little eleven-year old Shih Tzu doggie-dog for a walk yesterday down a path we haven’t used throughout winter. What a lovely walk, meeting all the other doggie owners walking the path and seeing the beautiful flowers budding and ready to burst out into the world. What a great inspiration to bring lots of color into my drawings.

Here is donkey surrounded by a wreath of daisy’s and ready for fun! You can see how I progress in drawing this little charmer. He is one of seven images I have created for coloring book number four. My goal is to draw 30 images to complete the book by the end of this summer. It sounds a bit aggressive, but I think It will be a great challenge creating many drawings for hours of fun coloring.

I hope everyone can get outdoors and enjoy earth’s bounty and beauty this spring and summer. I am looking forward to sharing my creativity with you so you can enjoy a time to relax and un-stress while enjoying the sunshine.

Blessings,

Coloring Book No. 4

Posted on by Terrie

Hello Friends,
Draft artwork for 4th coloring book.
Here we are almost through the holidays and into a new year. Wow, what crazy times we are in!! We slid through Thanksgiving and on into Christmas wondering where the time went. I was able to enjoy these holiday times with my various family members and feel greatly blessed. I am hoping that you were able to share time with your loved ones, as well.

This new 2023 year is going to be a busy one for me. I am currently working on coloring book number 4. Here are two of my first drawings for the book. It started out with 20 images and descriptions, but could actually evolve into more drawings as my research continues.

This coloring book is about “un-wild” or tamed and domesticated animals. Farm animals, working animals, pets and other animals we share our lives with.  As I do more research it appears that tamed and domesticated animals are not the same.  Domesticated animals are bred to enhance or improve their better traits and they become socially involved in our lives in an unthreatening way. Farm animals and pets fall into this category. Tamed animals can be trained to interact with us on some level, but they can return to the wild.  Elephants and gorillas fall into this category.  A wild animal cannot escape its wild instincts, though some can be trained.  But, it’s good to remember that they are always unpredictable and always a wild animal. This would include hippopotamus moose and zebras.

So, there you have it. My goal is to publish this new coloring book sometime in the middle or latter part of 2023 on Amazon.  I will keep you posted on my progress.

Blessings,
Terrie D
