I found an adult coloring book that held art drawings from Bob Ross. Here is my rendition of one of a mountain stream using crayons of blues, greens, gray and brown and some black. I wanted to share the feeling of cold water in the stream and waterfall with that shade of blue. I hope I succeeded.

If you have seen the movie 'It's a Wonderful Life' you have heard this quote many times. Every year I watch this movie and hear JuJu, George Bailey's youngest child, say this line for it brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. This is another Christmas picture that I used crayon with reds, greens, and gold for the main picture red for the berries and ribbon and gold for the bell and wings and green for the holly leaves and the wreath. I used brown and black for the border that I think is a wall and black for the words of the quote.

When Time Forgot to Behave
In the vast silence of the desert, where the land stretched like an unbroken thought and the sky hovered in patient blue, there hung a clock from the arm of a dead tree. It was an old pocket watch, silver once, now softened and drooping as if it had grown tired of its own certainty. Time, it seemed, had forgotten how to stay rigid.

Another illustration from Valentin Ramon and his Christmas movie coloring book. This really could be from any of the movies he presented in his book. Sorry for the blurry picture for I took it on a cloudy day. I used crayons with this picture using colors red, purple, yellow. green and gold for the bells and more yellow for the garland and stars are gold. I used brown for what I think is either a wall or a door where the wreath maybe hanging.
