Dog beside a Potted Plant Coloring Page

About this page

Lying relaxed on a round woven mat with a fringed edge, a long-haired dog rests its chin on crossed front paws and tilts its head with a calm smile. A thick tail wraps around the right side of its body. To the left sits a tall potted plant with five large heart-shaped leaves, each marked with a central vein and side veins. The pot has arched, window-like panels around its body and a rim of small stones on the soil. The scene is compact and cozy, with the plant filling the upper left and the dog filling the lower right. Large leaf shapes give you broad spaces to blend greens, while the pot panels are small and crisp. A medium page for teens, it fits anyone who likes quiet indoor scenes and gentle shading.
