Today's new religious drawing is of Adam and Eve walking in the Garden of Eden.

Adam and Eve walking in the Garden of Eden 

Adam and Eve were the first man and woman on Earth, according to the Bible.  I have no idea how their bodies were created.  As a retired science teacher, I am aware of the paleontological and archeological evidence of human evolution.  So,  again, I have no CERTAIN idea but I have one idea.  

If this type of conjecture offends you then don't read on.

I think this is a possibility.  Maybe, just maybe, God had waited up to a certain point in human evolution and then he began to place His spirit children in Man.  So that would mean that Adam and Eve were plucked from their caveman village and placed in the Garden of Eden... which would have been a protected part of the Earth where the normal violence of predator on prey did not take place.  Adam and Eve would then have been the first people to have divine "child of God" spirits in their bodies. 

Another idea is that maybe Adam and Eve are OUR ancestors, but God had other people before them for a couple of hundred thousand years.  Maybe God went through several stages of primitive civilizations.   And finally, He took Adam and Eve, as the last survivors of the previous civilization, and they became our first parents... that are mentioned in our Bible.  

Do I BELIEVE these ideas?  NO, I'm just thinking.  What actually happened will be revealed one day... probably when Jesus comes to Earth in all his Glory.  

What I DO believe is that Adam and Eve were our first parents.  And when they partook of the forbidden fruit they were given the consequences of their behavior.  God did not chew them out.  He did not get angry, he just gave them the consequences of a mortal life and being kicked out of the Garden of Eden.  We all could study that event to help us in OUR parenting of our kids.  God Gave Adam and Eve the commandment and told them the consequences and then when they broke the commandment He, God calmly gave them the consequences.

Gavialimimus a New Fish-Eating Mosasaur coloring page

Today's new coloring page is of Gavialimimus.

Gavialimimus was a fish-eating Mosasar.

This is a free coloring pages blog. 

Gavialimimus the New Fish Eating Mosasar

Gavialimimus was a fairly large Mosasaur.  Its fossilized skull has been found and it was 3 feet long or just under a meter long.  It was probably around 20-30 feet long.  It had a long narrow snout.  It lived in the late Cretaceous Period and there were many other types of Mosasaurs in the same waters.  These different types of Mosasaurs could live together at the same time because they fed on different prey species.  They were each specialized for their own type of prey.  This is also called a niche that each species filled.  

You can kind of think of a niche as what the species job is.  Gavialimimus fed on fish.  That was its niche or job. Its narrow snout allowed it to move fast side to side to catch fast-moving fish.  All the fish in this drawing, as well as the crab, are from the Cretaceous Period.  These fish with thin tails were fast-swimming fish like modern-day tuna.

African Butterfly Fairy coloring page

 Welcome to my free coloring pages blog!

I am a retired teacher who draws to keep busy. 

There are no ads or fees on this site. 

Today's new drawing is of a Butterfly Fairy from Africa. 

African Butterfly Fairy

Butterfly Fairies are found on all continents.  Many Fairies have butterfly-like wings but not all of them are Butterfly Fairies.  Butterfly Fairies DO have butterfly-like wings, however they also love butterflies intensely.  These Butterfly Fairies help protect butterflies and, as seen in this drawing, the Butterfly Fairies will lead butterflies to the best sources of nectar.  Of course that nectar is in the best flowers.  

Notice that Kipepeia here is wearing a flying belt.  Fairies from all continents have access to amazing technology that we mortals do not have.  The flying belt is used for flying long distances at speed.  Of course, Kipepeia and all Fairies can fly without a flying belt, but the can't go for long distances at high speed. 

If you saw Kipepeia (if you are a mortal) then you would see a species of African bitterly.  In fact, the butterfly that Kipepeia is guiding is one of those.  They are beautiful with black and green on the top of their wings.  This species is called the Apple-Green Swallowtail... or... the Green-Banded Swallowtail.  The scientific name for this butterfly is Papilio phocus. 

NOTE:  I would suggest looking up a photo or two of this butterfly to help you color Kipepeia's wings properly.  Although to be honest, I would cheat and draw the part of the closest wing that you can see with the deep black and green of the top of the wings.  But it's your choice.  This drawing can be found, in printable form, by clicking on the button labeled: "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus."  Then scroll down to the bottom for the new drawings.  Have fun coloring!

Leprechaun Couple hiding their Pot of Gold coloring page

 Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

And welcome to my free coloring pages blog!

Today's new drawing to print and color is a 

pair of Leprechauns who are hiding their pot of gold.   

Have fun coloring this drawing!

Leprechaun Couple hiding their Pot of Gold

Leprechauns are NOT just males.  They are a type of wingless Fairies.  They marry, have children, and live a magical life.  They tend to get into mischief, but they are not nasty about it.  They are still, like almost all Fairies, Beings of Light.  

They DO hide their gold and keep it safe.  The legends of leprechaun gold are based on fact. In this drawing, we see a young Leprechaun Couple who are about to bury their treasure of gold coins.  Each member of the couple is about 1 foot or around 0.3 meters tall.  

This male Leprechaun is actually a bit on the thin side, and his wife is actually rather curvy, but, like humans and Fairies, Leprechauns come in all shapes.  Both Fairies and Leprechauns celebrate all types of bodies.  We mortals would do well to follow their example more. 

Leprechauns are naturally this height of about 1 foot so while Fairies, or other types of Fairies are about 5 inches or around 13 cm tall in their natural state.  Both Fairies and Leprechauns can change to mortal size if they choose to.   Fairy magic and Leprechaun magic include very advanced technology.  

Leprechauns hundreds of years ago did not get along with the other Fairies.  Now, in modern times, they have a good relationship with the other Fairies.  Most Leprechauns prefer to live a simple existence but some embrace their tech and excel in advanced magic.

Pterodaustro the Filter Feeder coloring page

 Welcome to my free coloring pages blog!

Today's new drawing is an unusual Pterosaur called Pterodaustro.

Pterodaustro

Pterodaustro was a large, but not huge Pterosaur with a very unusual feature.  It had thin and long flexible teeth that acted like baleen to help it feed on plankton.  Baleen is what the huge whales have to capture plankton and krill.  Pterodaustro probably skimmed the water with its beak dipped into the water as it captured plankton and probably krill, jellyfish, and maybe even small squid.  Since we think Pterodaustro had webbed feet, it is possible it could dive into the water and swim to catch its tiny prey.

Pterodaustro had a wingspan of 8 feet. . . that is 2.5 meters wide.  It probably was covered in a covering of fuzz.  It was not a bird.  It was not a dinosaur.  It was a flying reptile.  Flying reptiles are called Pterosaurs and sometimes they are called Pterodactyls.  (Pterosaurs is the more correct name.)

We think that most Pterosaurs fed on fish.  If Pterodaustro caught a fish it was either a tiny one or it was an accident.  It was built to capture tiny creatures, not larger ones.  

Pterodaustro lived between 112 million and 100 million years ago.  It had so many of those thin teeth that we think it had around 1000 in its mouth.  Those teeth resembled flattened noodles or pasta... like: linguini.

You might notice that ONE of the Pterodaustro does not have dark tips on its wings.  So, I left it for YOU to color in the black tips.
