I might have called the project DLW: David Loves Whimsy. Perhaps that’s a wormhole into another dimension. However, we were strapped in, on the pad, and the rockets were blazing. Here, dear reader, I say, don’t (DO NOT) put a fork in the toaster. And DO NOT write in this book without FIRST testing your writing instrument for bleed through. File availability. Here’s the PDF of my first ever coloring book.
… Here are all the words in the coloring book. DLW David’s Little Whimsies A Coloring Book for Lois Mom © 2024 David L White Search ‘whimsy” @ GigAHug.com … Dedication This book is dedicated to my dear wife, Pat, of 36 years, who encourages and allows me to continue becoming. To my mother Lois, who read to me when I was an only child - my first three years. To Sally … thanks for asking if a particular art piece was for sale. A simple question can move the mountain. It’s 2024, the 50th anniversary year of my first published book of poems. I’d been wondering if I was going to put another book together. The first book was completely hand lettered. And here, my first coloring book, also done by hand. Surprise! ~~~ A few people have said to me: “I can’t draw.” Laughing, I have replied: “Neither can I!” This little book is more about allowing mystery and inspiration than it is about any definition of art. Be more you. ~~~ Project Notes David’s Little Whimsies “The fullest possible enjoyment is to be found by reducing your ego to zero.” ~ G. K. Chesterton I have found the greatest joy scribbling on scrap paper. I have thought there’s nothing artistic I can do with that. I now reconsider waste and failure. Anyway, here’s this coloring book. I learned to upgrade my doodle paper. And I continue to practice with edges more often. The Blank Page The intimidation factor may seem greater when one insists that there is only one blank page available. “There is nothing to abandon or practice. No meditation or post-meditation. Just this. - Miranda Shaw - The Natural Abiding ~~~ "Nothing happens, until something moves.”~ Albert Einstein“Something obviously moved, Einstein. Everything’s happening.”~ David L WhiteYou there, dear reader, make something move! There are extra pages here at the end. Thank you for visiting and taking some time for your self.
