This is for Linda G. Hill’s coloring club for this month. I have colored several pictures, and here is one of them, plus part of another.
I also wrote a poem inspired partly by the coloring pages, since they can be quite fantastical! We color within the lines but can choose any picture we want. πΒ Sharing with today’s Writers’ Pantry.
The rules say color within the lines,
But the artist’s mind divines
How to within the form be free,
Or to trash it, if need be:
These rules don’t dictate what to draw —
Let one’s artistry be raw —
Nor which colors one must use.
If some are fixed, there’s more to choose!
Your pictures are very pretty and your poem a delight. All the same, I haven’t joined in the current craze of colouring-in for adults. I can’t abide (and never could) staying within the lines!

Very nice! My father was an artist and disapproved of coloring books. I did have a few, but mostly he provided me with lots and lots of blank paper! Coloring books for adults can be very relaxing though.

Nobody really understands the artist, except herself or himself—and sometimes not even! π

I think we have to go with what feeds us, and if coloring outside the lines gets our souls singing, then hells yes, boundaries be damned!
