Jesus is Mourning for Jerusalem coloring page

 

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today I am posting a drawing I did of Jesus.

In this drawing He is mourning for Jerusalem.



Jesus is mourning for Jerusalem

You could call Jesus the greatest prophet. Of course, he also was and is the Son of God. He knew what was going to happen to Jerusalem 30+ years later. He prophesied of the destruction, and He mourned for the people that would be in Jerusalem when it was going to be defeated and destroyed by a superior Roman army. Jesus did not delight in the suffering that would come on the Jews and others who would be living in Jerusalem. 

Jesus came to Earth as the Son of God. He could die because of His mortal mother, Mary. Yet he had power over death because of His Father in Heaven being the Father of His temporal body. Of course, we are all spirit children of our Heavenly Parents. But Jesus was the Only Begotten in the flesh. Jesus taught the people about being kind and unselfish. Yet He also stood up to the leaders who were hypocrites. Yet Jesus' main task on Earth was to suffer and die for our sins. Then He was resurrected and made it possible for all of us to be resurrected one day. We will be resurrected with immortal bodies that will be free of imperfections and illness, etc. 

NOTE: This drawing will be posted on the printable section of this blog. Just click on the "Religious" button and scroll down to the bottom of the "New Testament" section. Have fun coloring this drawing.

Three Cliff Fairies coloring pages

 Today on this site, my free coloring pages blog, 

I am posting 3 drawings I have done of Cliff Fairies.

These are printable coloring pages to be printed and colored at home.



Rosia the Desert Cliffrose Fairy

Cliff Fairies live high up on cliffs. They can transform to mortal size, like these three in this post. They are lookouts and watch for danger and often help keep animals safe. This first Cliff Fairy is a Cliffrose Fairy because HER village is located under a cliffrose plant that is growing out of the cliff. Almost all Fairies live under trees or plants - meaning underground in hollowed-out caverns that have high technology and magic mixed. These villages are beautiful, and the Fairies have to be their natural size to be there.  That size is around 5 inches tall or so. 

The dark stains on the rock are magnesium stains. These stains are found in the red-rock desert of the Southwest in the United States, including here in Southern Utah. 


Savannah the African Cliff Fairy

On bluffs that overlook parts of the Savannah in Africa, it is where the African Cliff Fairies live. They keep watch over the wildlife, and in fact, they help the mortal authorities find poachers. They have also known to use their own magic to discourage poachers who are after rhinos and elephants. The stupidity of thinking that rhino horns are somehow magical is something that is disgusting to the Fairy community.  The Fairies KNOW magic, and magic isn't from rhinoceros hours. 

Fairies are often friendly with elephants, and the ivory trade is just as disgusting to Fairies as the trade in rhino horns. You will never find a Fairy of Light with an ivory wand. There are a very few Dark Fairies who use ivory wands. 





Papilia the Two-Tailed Swallowtail Cliff Fairy

Papilia is from my neck of the woods. She lives high up in the Utah mountains. Her wings mimic the wings of the Two-Tailed Swallowtail butterfly. The Two-Tailed Swallowtail butterfly lives high up in the Rocky Mountains - including here in the high parts of the Utah mountain ranges. Their scientific name is Papilio multicaudata.  This name refers to them being butterflies with more than one tail on each wing. Obviously, they have two tails on each wing. One tail is longer than the other. 

You may notice that Papilia is not a slender Fairy. Many artists only draw or paint tiny, slender Fairies. Those drawings are fine. But Fairies come in many sizes and colors... or in many races, in fact. 

Obviously, the second two drawings are done from the summer perspective. Those two Fairies are wearing summer outfits to stay cool. Although Fairy Magic can also help Fairies keep warm or cool.
Many Fairies like to wear living plant matter for their clothing. All three of these Fairies are wearing outfits made of woven leaves and/or woven plants like grass.

If you are accessing this page in late January or February 2026, then these coloring pages' titles will be further up the list.  Have fun coloring these free coloring pages. There are no fees.

It is also a math or counting picture puzzle

This is my free coloring pages blog. I have drawn over 

3000 pictures for you to print and color. Have fun coloring!



 Giant Squid hunted by a Sperm Whale

Sperm Whales are one of the biggest carnivores on the planet. They are possibly the biggest true carnivores because, unlike blue whales, sperm whales don't eat plankton. Sperm whales eat giant squid. Sperm whales are the largest toothed predators since they have teeth instead of baleen. These giant squid that sperm whales eat can be up to 43 feet or 13 meters long. That's the females. The males are a bit smaller at 33 feet or 10 meters long.  A sperm whale can be up to 66 feet or 20 meters long. They can weigh up to 57 tons. 

See if you can count the number of different ocean species in this drawing.  Can you name, or basically name, the different types of animals? Then count how many total individual animals there are in the drawing. Answers located below.

Jesus praying in the Mountains coloring page Also, the importance of communing with God in Nature

 You have found or re-found my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's free coloring page is a drawing I did of Jesus praying in the mountains. 


Jesus goes to the Mountains to Pray


Being the God of Nature, I think Jesus loved communing with God the Father, while in Nature. Jesus created the Earth, and He was incredibly powerful, even as a sort of mortal. In fact, Jesus was a willing sacrifice. He could have used His power to stop the illegal trial and even to come down from the cross. But Jesus loved us so much that He had volunteered, in our premortal life, to suffer and die for our sins. 

Because of Jesus' atonement, we can be forgiven for our sins if we choose to repent and strive to do better. Then, because of His resurrection, we all will be resurrected one day. 

I also want to say that getting out in Nature is good for our souls. Hiking, fishing, hunting, birding, Nature photography, mountain biking, etc., get you out in Nature. There is an excellent book called  Last Child In The Woods that talks about how important being in Nature is to our kids and us.  And obviously, being in Nature was important to our Savior as well. 

In my religion, me being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we have the event of Joseph Smith going out into Nature to pray. He wondered which church was true. So, he went out early in the morning of a spring day into Nature... namely, a grove of woods near his father's farm. When he prayed, Joseph was visited by God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.  

Our understanding is that the Word (Jesus) made the world, under the direction of His Father in Heaven. In fact, we are all spirit children of our Heavenly Parents. In our premortal life, Jesus was our eldest spirit brother. 

NOTE: This drawing is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled "Religious." Then scroll down to the bottom of the New Testament section. There are a LOT of New Testament drawings, because I like drawing Jesus.   Below is a previously posted drawing of Joseph Smith and his first vision where he saw Heavenly Father and Jesus in what we now call the Sacred Grove.

Shoebill Bird coloring page

 This is my free coloring page blog.

Today's new coloring page drawing I have done for you is a Shoebill.



Shoebill wading in a Lake

Shoebills are amazing birds. They can be as tall as 5 feet. They can grab fish with their large bills. There is a sharp spike on the end of their bill that acts like a spear for spearfishing. These birds are found in Africa. They have a very unique sound. They clack the top and bottom half of their bill together to make a lound sound that resembles a machine gun sound. 

NOTE: To find this drawing in printable form, just click on the "Birds" button. Then scroll down to the bottom of the list of birds. If you are accessing this blog in early 2026, then you will find the title of this picture at or near the bottom of the list. New drawings are placed at the bottom of the list. Have fun coloring this unique bird in its natural habitat!

New Raptor Dinosaur from Denmark coloring page

 

This is my free coloring page blog. 

Today's new drawing is of a newly discovered raptor dinosaur from Denmark. 


Dromaeosauroides and Caulkicephalus

This drawing is of two Early Cretaceous Period animals. One is possibly one of the very earliest Raptor dinosaurs. The other is a Pterosaur. Both lived in what is now Europe. The Raptor lived in what is now Denmark. 

Dromarosauroides was around 7-10 feet long or 2-3 meters long. It had that killer toe claw and may have been the first dinosaur to have that. 

The Pterosaur had a wingspan of 16.5 feet or 5 meters wide. So, the one in this picture is a ways off in the distance. 

NOTE: This drawing is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled "Paleontology." Then scroll down to the bottom of the Mesozoic Life section. If you are accessing this in January of 2026 then this drawing's title will be at or near the bottom of the Mesozoic part of the list. 

I also want to add that Leonardo DaVinci said that an artists never completes a work of art, they abandon it.  Although I don't have his talent... I agree with that saying. I decided to UN-abondon this drawing because I realized the snout was too short on the raptor dinosaur. I also added a Eurotitan Sauropod dinosaur in the background.
