Happy Easter 2024 coloring pages

Hi!  Happy Easter! 

Right now I am re-posting a couple of Easter drawings that I did a week or two ago.

There are many other Easter Drawings under the "Holidays" button.  

This will probably be my last post until we return from vacation in early April.

Here are my 2024 Easter coloring pages. 

Jesus is Resurrected from the Tomb after 3 Days

If Jesus had not died for our sins then we could not repent.  

He paid the eternal price or punishment for our sins.  

If He had not resurrected (come back to life in a glorified body) then 

we would not be able to one day be resurrected.  

Since Jesus Christ DID pay the price for our sins and was resurrected three

days later, we will ALL be resurrected.  So that means no more tracheotomy, no 

rheumatoid arthritis pain, no diabetes, no heart failure... etc. 

Jesus has kept his scars from the cross in order to testify to all mankind who He 

is and what He has done for all of us.

NOTE:  I again want to remind you that these drawings-along with other Easter drawings are found by clicking on the Holidays button and scrolling down to the Easter section. 

 I also want to remind you of a great Easter book called The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes.  It is a great story and it is very empowering to disenfranchised people. It is one of my favorite books.    It was ahead of its time.  It was written in the 1930s!

The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes

There are several Country Bunny drawings in the Holidays section, like those below.

Dilophosaurus coloring page

Hi there!  Welcome to my free coloring pages blog!

Today's new drawing is of Dilophosaurus

along with other animals that lived in the 

the early Jurassic ecosystem of North America.

Dilophosaurus of the Early Jurassic

This is a drawing of Dilophosaurus.  It was a Theropod carnivorous dinosaur of the Early Jurassic Period.  It lived in what is now North America.  It was depicted in Jurassic Park as having a frill and spitting poison.  We do not know that this is what it had and could do, but some modern reptiles do have frills and some modern reptiles can spit poison.  The movie also depicted Dilophosaurus as being maybe 9 feet long or so. 

I absolutely adore the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies.  However, in reality, Dilophosaurus was actually much bigger than depicted.  Dilophosaurus was the top predator in its Early Jurassic ecosystem about 201-183 million years ago.  Its fossils were first found in Arizona, USA.  

The full frills have never been found.  So we are not sure what it looked like.  Dilophosaurus means "two-frilled lizard."  Google "Dilophosaurus" and you will see various artists' renditions of this dinosaur- each with a different shaped pair of frills. 

The mammal that the Dilophosuarus is confronting (and planning on eating) is an early mammal-like reptile called Dinnebitodon.  Dinnebitodon was quite small.  In reality, it would have only been a mouthful for a full-sized Dilophosaurus.  So I guess we COULD say that this is a fairly young Dilophosaurs.  

The long-necked dinosaur in the background is a Prosauropod named "Sarahsaurus."  It was about 13 feet or 4 meters long.  It weighed around 440 lbs or massed at 200 kg. It was an ancestor to the huge Sauropods of the later Jurassic Period and of the Cretaceous Period. 

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the button labeled "Paleontology."  Then scroll down to the bottom  of the Mesozoic Life section to find this drawing.  If you are finding this in late March or early April of 2024 then this will be the last drawing on the Mesozoic part of the list and it will be located at the bottom of the list of Paleontology drawings.  However, if you are finding this well after April 3rd, 2024 then this will NOT be at the very bottom of the Mesozoic Life section.  Since we are going on vacation and seeing Argentinosaurus and Gigonotosaurus at the Fernbandk Museum of Natural History in Atlanta, Georgia, I will be drawing both those dinosaurs and posting them when we get back. 

Mountain Unicorn coloring page

 You have found my free coloring pages blog. 

There are around 2800 free coloring pages here & you can print them for free.

Mountain Unicorn at Sunrise

Mountain Unicorns live, as you would expect, in the mountains.  They are sure-footed like goats. Yet they still come down into the mountain valleys from time to time.  Some Mountain Unicorns live at extreme heights.  Most people can not see a Mountain Unicorn.  Mountain Unicorns have powerful concealing magic that makes them look like large mountain goats to most mortals.  

Mountain Unicorns are smaller than the more common Unicorns that live at lower elevations.  Mountain Unicorns are sentient, like all Unicorns. So they have intelligence the same as mortals, Fairies, Merpoeple, Dwarfs, and Elves.  

IF you ever see a Mountain Unicorn then they have chosen you to see them.  This means that they sense something unique and kind in you. This is a wonderful experience.  Although it is an eye-opener to discover that magical beings share this planet with us mortals.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day 2024 coloring page

Leprechaun Couple with their Pots of Gold

Jesus Prays on a Moutaintop coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog with nearly 3000 drawings that I drew.

Today's new drawing is of our Savior Jesus Christ praying.

Jesus Prays on a Mountaintop

Jesus, in His sort of mortal life, was fond of going up into the mountains to be with God.  He could meditate and pray.  I think we can assume that.  Of course, Jesus was our spiritual brother.  We all have spirits in our mortal bodies.  Those spirits were made by our Heavenly Parents.  The difference between us and Jesus is that Jesus had a physical body that was fathered by our Heavenly Father.  That is why Jesus is called the "\Only Begotten of the Father."   

Up above I referred to Jesus' "sort of mortal life."  It was sort of mortal because He was the Son of God so He had power over death.  Jesus was not a helpless victim of Roman cruelty.  No, Jesus was a willing sacrifice because he volunteered to be the Savior of all Mankind.  He paid the price for our sins.  Specifically, He paid the ETERNAL prince of our sins so that we can repent and be forgiven.  

About the drawing, Jesus may have used a prayer shawl and I did not draw it this time  I have drawn Jesus praying in the mountains before only WITH a prayer shawl on His head.  The dove is in the drawing to show that the Holy Ghost is with Jesus as Jesus prays to Heavenly Father.  Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit are members of the Godhead.  They are separate and distinct individuals.  They are ONE in purpose. 

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the "Religious" button and then scrolling down to the bottom of the "New Testament" drawings.  Have fun coloring.  

Dune 1 and Dune 2 movie review and Muad'Dib the Dune Kangaroo Rat coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today I am posting some "fan art" that I drew from the 2023 and 2024 movies 

Dune part 1 and Dune part 2.

I am also reviewing those two movies. 

Muad'Dib the Dune Kangaroo Rat

First the review of the 2 Dune movies:  The 2023 and 2024 movies that are based on the Dune book are very well done.  No movie based on a book will make everyone happy but there are a lot of things to love about these two movies based upon the first Dune novel.  

First of all the acting is superb in many ways.  The cast is exceptional.  Timothy Chaleme is believable in the role as Paul Atreides.  In part 2 the acting of Zandaya is REALLy good.  In my opinion, she deserves an Academy Award for her part in this movie.  She had only limited time in the first movie so her acting skills were not showcased very much.  She was so good in the second movie that I plan to draw her as Chani in her stillsuit.  Of course, that will be a fan art drawing.  

The supporting cast is also excellent.  I particularly was impressed with Jason Momoa as Gurney.  But Rebecca Furgeson was also exceptional as Jessica Atreides.  The role of Baron Vladamir Harkonan was played by Stellen Skarsgard and he was good in the role.  The role of Duke Leto Atredides was played bu Oscar Issac and he was very believable in the role.  Really, all of the roles were masterfully cast and the performances were great. 

Now, these next lines are kind of spoilers.  So don't keep reading if you want no spoilers. . . . 

The Harkonnans in the 1984 Dune movie were ginger-haired or redheads.  In THIS adaptation the Harkonans are all bald.  That actually worked for me. I would have liked to see more interaction between Lady Jessica and Duke Leto. The sandwor33ms were impressive but I felt like they could have used a 3-part or multi-part mouth like in the 1984 version of the movie.  Having the mouths round was just not as impressive to me.  Finally, the movie has changed some parts of the story that are mostly true to the feel of the book.  One difference is that Chani is depicted as not liking that Paul is leading the holy war.  She doesn't believe in the prophecy.  Another difference is that the book gives us closure while this movie leaves us with a cliffhanger.  At the end of the book, Jessica tells Chani that history would call them wives.  In the book Paul Maud'Dib is clear that his marriage to the princess is a name-only marriage  That does not really happen in Dune Part 2.  

That being said, I would give this movie 5 out of 5.  It really is the best adaptation of the book and more closely follows the book than the 1984 movie, and I am considering the ScyFy Channel mini-series and the 1984 Dune movie.  I re-watched Dune 1984 then re-watched Dune 2023 before I went to Dune Part 2.  

Now, about the Dune kangaroo rat that they call Muad'Dib.  It is clearly based on the kangaroo rat from the desert of Southwest USA and Northwest Mexico.  The movie version has bigger ears.  That is very believable because animals in the Dune universe seem to be transplanted from Earth.  The kangaroo rats that were transplanted on the planet Arakkis or Dune could have easily evolved bigger ears if that were a clear survival strategy.  It has been demonstrated that evolution can occur faster than once thought.  That is based on rather recent studies and observations on the Galapagos Islands of the local finch populations.

By the way, below are some other Kangaroo Rat drawings that I have used.  They are from past posts so they will be further up the "Animals" list. Again have fun coloring!

Garden Bunny Rabbit coloring page

 Welcome to my free coloring pages blog.  

Today's new drawing is of a bunny or rabbit in a garden.  

The fuzzy little animal is eating a carrot. 

Garden Bunny Rabbit

First of all:  Can you count how many total animals are in this drawing?  

`The answer is at the bottom of this post.

Did you know that there are 205 recognized breeds of modern rabbits?  There are 29 species of wild rabbits.  The European Hare is the biggest species of wild rabbit. Netherland Dwarf Rabbit is the smallest breed or type of rabbit anywhere.  It is a domesticated rabbit.  

I must admit that today's picture is of a generic rabbit.  I don't have a specified breed.  In fact, it kinda looks like it might be a farmer rabbit who raised his or her own crops of carrots, etc.  Of course, that makes it kind of anthropomorphic.  (That means a fictional situation where the animal has characteristics of humans.) 

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the button labeled "Animals."  Then just scroll down to the bottom of the list of animal drawings.  Click on this title and you will get a printable version.  Have fun coloring!

Answer to question above:  There are 8 total animals.  Two bunny rabbits, one deer, and five birds. 

F-16V Fighting Falcon coloring page

 Welcome to my free coloring pages blog.  

I drew almost all these pictures except for a few drawn by a grandniece and a grandnephew.  

Today's new drawing is of an F-16V Fighting Falcon. 

70/72 

F-16V Fighting Falcon

This drawing is of the Block 70/72 Fighting Falcon.  

Although F-16 fighter-bombers are also called Viper by the pilots.  

I mistakenly published a few years ago that the F-16 was being retired and replaced by the F-35.  Although that may eventually happen... the F-16 fighters of the US Air Force are being upgraded with better radar and new structure.  The radar is on par with what the F-35 fighters have.  The new structure improvements will give the F-16 fighters longer flying life.  

The F-16V is what I drew above.  It has conformal fuel tanks. Conformal fuel tanks conform to the fuselage and give the aircraft more fuel capacity and therefore more range.  Those tanks can be added or removed with relative ease.  

The USA is selling some of these F-16V fighters that are brand new, off the assembly line.   The US Air Force is upgrading over 600 of its F-16 fleet to the F-16V configuration.  I should add that the new version or upgrade includes a digital screen in the cockpit and other improvements.  You could call the F-16 V Viper a 4.5-generation aircraft now.  

The original manufacturer of the F-16 was General Dynamics.  It is now built by Lockheed-Martin.  This is due to mergers and acquisitions. Just a few specs on the F-16:  Top speed is Mach 2.  That is about 1500 mph or 2414 kph.  Payload capacity is up to 15,200 lbs of various weapons.  The F-16 has a wingspan of 32 feet 8 inches or 9.8 meters.  It is 49 feet 5 inches or 14.8 meters long.
