Coloring Book Page for Kids - Christmas Deer and Snowman

In celebration of the holiday season here's a printable coloring book page for the kids to enjoy. It features a whitetail deer nibbling the carrot nose off a snowman while a bunny looks on, hoping the deer will share a piece of the tasty treat.




As with the previous coloring pages, have your kids download it, print it out, and color it or paint it any way they want, realistic or wild and crazy! (Click on the image to see a larger version. Then right-click on the larger image and select "save image as..." to save it to your hard drive.)

This coloring page was created from a small painting I did recently. Below is the image of the painting your children can use as color reference. Of course, they're free to use their own imagination and color it however they want.


Holiday greeting cards can be made from this image on Fine Art America.

These solid black birds are anything but plain black. They have amazingly beautiful iridescent feathers, with lovely shades of blue, green, and purple!

The reference for this bird was taken on my trip to Astoria, Oregon.

Miniature Painting - No 9 - African Lion

Miniature painting No 9, a majestic black-maned African lion. This is a little unusual for me since I rarely paint African wildlife. But what's not to love about the King of the Jungle? Or, that really should be 'King of the Savannah"!
