Free mermaid coloring page to download and print.
Make a fall weekend more festive with an autumn themed beverage and coloring page! Today I am giving you a free leaf mandala coloring page to download and print. It looks great colored in warm, fall colors, but feel free to be creative! I also have a recipe for a ginger apple mimosa which is delicious with or without the prosecco.
A beautiful autumn hike in Brooklin, Maine on the Hundred Acre Wood trail.
My family has been working on completing Blue Hill Heritage Trust's Hiking Challenge 2020: Beautiful Boulders. This challenge involves finding specific boulders along eight different trails.
Today was another beautiful day for a family hike. This time we explored Snow Natural Area in Brooksville, Maine. This preserve includes a tiny island called Nab Island that is accessible at low tide.
Blue Hill Heritage Trust has many great hiking spots throughout the Blue Hill, Maine area. Today my family and I checked out Patten Stream Preserve in Surry. It is a quiet, forested trail that offers some interesting stream views.
The Lampson Preserve is located in Castine and Penobscot, Maine on the Bagaduce River. It is owned by Maine Coast Heritage Trust and is a beautiful spot for a short hike and offers exquisite water views. Small nature areas, such as this one, can be found throughout coastal Maine and offer a great way to enjoy the state's natural beauty without the crowds of visitors that you see at some of the more popular tourist stops, like Acadia National Park.
What should you do with all of your beautiful coloring pages when you are done coloring them? There are many great ideas for crafts using coloring pages. Take a quick search around the internet and get inspired! I decided to use the center from one of the pages of my Around Maine coloring book to decorate a mason jar. I used tissue paper to add additional color around the coloring page. Then I collected some flowers to put inside. For this project, I colored and cut out just the center of one coloring page. I just used scissors to cut, but if you have a very intricate design you may want to use an X-ACTO knife.
What could be more iconic of Maine than lobster? Lobster fishing is a major industry in Maine and lobster is a popular (and delicious) ingredient in the local cuisine. This lobster coloring pages features a lobster decorated with a buoy pattern. Lobster buoys help fishermen identify and locate their traps. Each fisherman has buoys with a unique color design. Print this coloring page and have fun creating your own buoy color combinations. Download this coloring page here and start coloring. I would love to see your coloring creations! Contact me via email or Facebook and show me your coloring. Are you interested in more Maine-themed coloring pages. Check out my Around Maine coloring book here!
I'm honored to have my digital artwork featured on the cover of the 2020 Bay Community Register . Don't know what the Bay Community Register is? It is a business directory, community information, phone book and more! This publication covers the Maine towns of Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Deer Isle, Isle au Haut, Penobscot, Sedgwick, Stonington and Surry. This artwork was created using Adobe Illustrator and was inspired by the beauty of living by the sea. One of the things that I appreciate about creating artwork on the computer, is having the ability to experiment with different colors, lines, shapes and sizes, trying out different combinations to get all the elements to work together. It is also exciting to see how work that has been created on a screen translates into print. If you live in the Blue Hill/Castine/Stonington area make sure you pick up your copy of the 2020 Bay Community Register. It is packed with helpful information and features some great local businesses!
