Pretty Flowers to Color



When I first started college (a million years ago) I majored in art. After the first semester I switched to teaching. I liked to draw and paint but when compared to my classmates, my efforts were amateurish. Making a living was important to me. Art was not a viable option.
Over the years I continued to draw, but expressed my artistic side through crafts and handmade gifts.

My interest in drawing rekindled about six months ago. I don’t have a lot of time to devote to it, but my skills are returning. I draw and most of my efforts end up in the trashcan, but every now and then I turn out a nice picture.

This weekend I took several of my favorite pictures of flowers and built a Squidoo lens. I’m quite happy with how it turned out. If you’re looking for some new pictures for your kids to color, check out my lens, Pretty Flowers to Color.

I’ve started working on a new set of pictures. My goal is to build a lens of bird pictures that can be used to teach children how to identify birds. It’s a challenging goal but one that will be extremely satisfying.

Wish me luck!
