Looking for something easy to relax with? Something you can finish in one sitting? That’s what I was interested in a couple months ago, and these coloring pages for adults are the result.
In a flurry of curiosity and inspiration I delved into taking favorite quotes and turning them into simple coloring pages. I keep excerpts and quotes from favorite books in various electronic places (a digital commonplace book of sorts), and it was time to bring some of them into the open.
Enter: shelter-in-place for eternity (or at least it seemed that long). In any case, I had periods of complete disinterest in doing anything and spurts of wanting to do everything. In one of the latter times, I decided to try making simple coloring pages with some of my favorite quotes and verses.
I enjoy coloring activities from time to time. I love to see the intricate patterns and details that swirl through many of the adult coloring books. But, to be honest, I don’t have the time or patience to invest in one of those beautiful designs. That leaves me completely unwilling to shell out money to buy an entire book of them.
What I really wanted was favorite quotes paired with patterns or designs that I could color in one sitting and enjoy. With that goal in mind I ventured forth. And the outcome wasn’t terrible.
Coloring Pages
My initial plan was to set up a resource library on Living the Learning Life, but I’m simplifying at the moment so I chose instead to offer these coloring pages for adults for free! If any of the quotes intrigue you or if you just want to spend a couple minutes relaxing your brain and sparking creativity, click on the picture, download, print, and color away!
