Last year I did several line paintings from Winslow Homer's fishing watercolors. It became a game to see how much I could paint without 'correcting'. Now, if I could find a color version of this scene to give you an idea. It would be fun to see what you create without knowing what the original colors are. All those squiggles (in this drawing ) follow the loose patterns of Homer's brush strokes and the freeflowing pooling of water and pigment.

Get my free Maine Coloring Book and Spring Coloring Book (in pdf form) to download and print out. The Maine book has four lighthouse and four harbor lobster boat scenes. The Spring book has a variety of spring themed images - bears, cats, rabbits, birds, flowers, even a circus scene!
Each 'book' is two sheets with a total of eight images, (four a sheet). Fold them up and staple or sew to make the coloring books. These are examples from each book.

On Mother's Day
by Catinka Knoth
To Mothers, on this your special day,
So much one can't find words to say.
All the years you've spent
Readying Child to go forth in the world.
Life's magic you unfurled
And spread a feast delicious
Of the hopes, dreams, and wishes
For us so tenderly you held despite
doubts and fears.
It's always been your love's best intent
That has led us through our years.
