I went to Target today and in the book section they had a few shelves of coloring books for adults. I found copies of Angela Porter's Color Me Calm so after checking it out I had to have one. Bought a copy and a few extra Staedtler pens. Angela was a big influence on me a few years ago when I met her on a website called paintingsilove.com.
I was doing nothing but watercolors when I started noticing her drawings. I hadn't been doing any drawings for years. I started painting regularly in 2011. Angela was the first to tell me about Zentangles. And although I do not do them they showed me a whole new way of thinking about my art. Doodling became my passion. Now doodling is my job considering my doodles are now coloring books.
I look forward to coloring this book but mostly I am just excited to look at it. Nice to own some of Angela's art.
