Design Shapes
When I first saw this design, I wasn't sure what it was going to look like. I started at the center with a light blue moving on to a yellow then to a slightly darker blue, then using a red for a little contrast surrounding the rest with a light orange. To me these could be flowers or maybe they are just odd designs. It could make a good tablecloth or even an apron pattern.

Birds on Nests
Hope you guys like birds for there are plenty on this picture. I chose to make all the birds at the most groups of four of one color. I did the small flowers using black on the ones around the border and different colors to offset the green of the nests. There are shades of blue, tan, pink, magenta. This is also another picture that could be used a counting activity sheet for preschool or primary school. Count the black flowers and birds? Count how many nests there are on the page. Circle the tan birds. Put a square around the blue birds? Also, I shaded the white area sky blue, which is one of my favorite colors. Hope you like this.

Marten
Here is a picture of a Marten up a tree or pinecones and flowers. I used my crayons with shades of blue primarily along with pink, orange, reds, greens, and black for a little contrast. The tree and pinecones I colored using brown and burnt sienna. The flowers I chose red with a little orange tint. The while background I shaded in sky blue surrounding the whole image of the Marten.

Flowers
Here is a patch of wildflowers that I used my crayons with shades of blues, greens, reds, oranges. Leaves of greens and berries of magenta and small leaves tan. I hope you all like wildflowers and hoping for comments on this picture for when I saw it the flowers reminded of a wildflower patch I grew long time ago. Please share your thoughts on this one.

Ocean and Ship objects
Ahoy, there matey! Here is a color art of ocean and ship objects that I tried to use colors for the underwater effect. The colors range from reds, orange, brown and blues. This one could also be used as a counting exercise for preschool students. Count the life preservers. Count the shells. Count the anchors. Can you find and circle the starfish? Can you find and put a square around the crabs.

Brave Lion
Lions, tigers, and bears oh my! Here is a picture I colored with my colored pencils with a brave lion lying on a large, gray rock with green plants growing around him. I was trying for a more traditional yet whimsical view using blues, reds, oranges, and gray and black for the head. The is a quarter moon out for this night scene, so the moon is gray and the clouds around the clouds are black with the sky area light gray. Please share your thoughts on this brave lion.

Kangaroos
Here is a color art of some adult kangaroos with their joey. I tried for the whimsical touch with this family. The joey's head I used my gray and black colored pencils. For a more realistic look to the tree, I used light brown and black to show depth, I think I did that. The colors I chose for the kangaroos were mainly pastels from light blue, pink, orange, greens and yellow. I chose to do the sun yellow for the body of the sun and orange for the rays. The plants I just colored shades of green. Please share your thoughts.

Rabbits
Here is a picture I colored with my colored pencils. I tried to get a festive feel kind of like Easter with the blues, pink, oranges and greens. If you notice I gave the sky area a shading of light blue with a bright orange sun. The flowers I decided to color pink, red, orange, and blues and purple.

Adam-12
"See the man." as the dispatcher would say over the police radio. There was another police drama that was all about the days and nights of patrol officers on the street. This show was entitled 'Adam-12' and it is another one that was on when I was in early to late elementary school, but I was allowed to watch for Officers Pete Malloy and Jim Reed -Martin Milner and Kent McCord were police officers to learn from during that time. This was another strict procedural police drama for it was created by the creators of Dragnet.

Dragnet
Just the facts, mam. There was an old police drama starring Jack Webb and Harry Morgan as Joe Friday and Bill Cannon. This police drama was based on true events and the names were changed to protect the innocent. This was a show that I only saw as reruns, but it was strictly a procedural show for Joe Friday would narrate as the show progress telling what each of the were going to do. The scenes of the show were stark and to me were true to fact and at times were scary to me.

Cannon
Who remembers all those old detective shows from the 1970's? The one that came to my mind was one entitled 'Cannon' that was about a slightly obese man who identified himself as a private investigator hired by whomever needed help some way. He did work with the cops when needed. Cannon would drive around working on his cases in a great big car and there would always be some sort of food on the front seat usually donuts. This show was usually show in parts, as in Act One- introducing what crime took place, Act Two- the investigation, Act Three- catching the culprit(s) and summing up how everything went. There were a few more of these types of shows that were on television back then, and I am thinking about critiquing them as well.
