Get your pens, pencils, crayons and paints out and lose yourself for a little while in colouring a template and/or filling it with patterns.  Turn off the technology, give yourself some time and space.

One of my designs from Entangled is available to download for this event from Dover Publishing’s Colouring Day page, as are other gorgeous designs, as well as a specially designed one for the day.

You can also download one of my owls from Color Me Happy via Hobbycraft.

I’d love to see what you do with them, I really would!

It’s true!  Color Me Calm is at #25 in a bestsellers wish with Publishers Weekly!

I’m honestly and truthfully amazed by this.  It’s way beyond what I ever expected for my art and for a coloring book aimed at adults with the idea of using the images for a break from the everyday hustle and bustle of life.

Thank you to all who have purchased the book and made it such a success.

Thank you to all who believed in me to get me started on this journey – Jeannine Dillon at Race Point Publishing (part of Quartos Publishing Group), Jason Schneider at Creative Haven by Dover Publishing, Claire Cater at Michael O’Mara Books, and all the friends who have been so supportive (you know who you are!)

Focusing more on art…

It’s been a while since my last blog post. The reasons for this are many but include focusing on the art projects “Color Me Calm” and “Color Me Happy“, a return to work after a very extended period of illness, and now working on a book project called “Entangled” for Dover Publications.

It’s been a busy but exciting time with these projects, and I’m sure there’ll be more in the pipeline for me. I’m hoping that this will result in me posting to this blog more often, with updates and sneak previews from time to time of the projects I’m involved in.

I have also had to create a facebook page for myself, Angela Porter Artwyrd.

Here’s a sneaky preview of one of the Mandalas in one of the ‘Color Me’ books.
