Robin's Great Coloring Pages: Leprechaun Couple with their Pots of Gold coloring pages

Welcome back to my free coloring pages blog! I have been in a rather difficult health crisis so it has been a while since I posted. I have done drawings but have not been able to bring myself to get around to posting any of them. Since today is Saint Patrick's Day I drew this Leprechaun picture last night.

Leprechaun Couple with their Pots of Gold

Leprechauns are not all male. They are, of course, both male AND female. They fall in love for life and a Leprechaun can live for hundreds of years. Like other Fairies, Leprechauns can change their size. They can be bigger than a mortal or smaller than a mouse. But their preferred size is between 1 and 2 feet. That is 0.30 and 0.60 meters tall.

This couple, who are named Sean and Keelin, are standing on a low-grade hill as they are searching for a place to bury their pots of gold. No, they do not have a shovel, because they will use Leprechaun magic to dig the hole and bury the gold. In fact, they will probably use a levitation charm to cap the spot with a flat rock.

One thing to consider is that they are at their natural Fairy size so their pots of gold are only able to carry about 3.1 Troy ounces of gold. At the current price of gold at $1,923.00 per ounce that means each pot of gold is valued at $5,961.30 in American dollars. So with two pots of gold, they are about to bury the worth is around $11,922.60 worth of gold.

About the butterfly: This is a Red Admiral Butterfly. The species is native to Ireland. It is also found in Great Britain. It is a large and colorful butterfly that is often seen in gardens. This species is also found throughout Asia, Europe, and North America. It has an amazing distribution! It is even found in Hawaii, New Zealand, and the Caribbean. Its scientific name is Vanessa atalanta. It was previously called the "Red Admirable" butterfly but now is called the Red Admiral Butterfly.
