Adult Coloring Books

Hello friends!  My first post of the new year!  How exciting to have been writing this blog for over a year now with wonderful friends to read what I have to say.  A lot of the time it is not very much, but I do hope that what I write is educational and informative.  With that said, let us dive right into our first topic of 2016!

What is on trend these days?  Adult coloring books.  They are everywhere!  I even got a couple for my Christmas gift.  These books, if you have not heard of them, are complex designs for you to color, mostly directed towards adults or older kids.  The reason these books have appeared is because coloring is relaxing, and as most adults know, being an adult is not always kicks and giggles.  Life can pile up and become stressful.  Tuesdays are like that in our house, for some reason.  My son usually has a bad day on Tuesdays, my husband usually has a bad day on Tuesdays, and guess what, I usually have a bad day on Tuesdays.  I am sure each and everyone of you has one of those days every once in awhile.  I just hope they are not as often as every Tuesday like in my house.  So with all that stress looming, adults usually try to find a way to relieve it.  Now we all know their are a lot of unhealthy ways to do that, but finding a healthy way to relieve that stress is important.  So, why not color?  Sitting down to focus on a complex coloring design is healthy and helpful.  Now, you know I am no doctor, far from it.  But with some knowledge in Art Therapy, adult coloring has brought a lot of people comfort.  Yes, you guessed it, adult coloring is a form of Art Therapy!  Creating art can give you relaxation and focus.  A time to get your mind off those terrible Tuesdays and on to something simple, coloring.  Go and try out some of the coloring pages I listed below to bring some peace to your crazy adult life.  No one ever said being an adult would be easy....well, maybe a kid who has no clue yet and thinks being an adult is eating whatever you want whenever you want (which is true but still its more then that). So as always, be the best artist you can be!
