I have always loved to color.  There’s something soothing about staying within the lines and creating something relatively beautiful from plain black and white.  So imagine my delight when my artistic children gave me a top of the line set of colored pencils, 132 soft lead beauties, with  fanciful names both English and French. Over 25 red ones alone, designated as mulberry, crimson lake, Tuscan red, burnt ochre, process red (rouge quadriechromie), dahlia purple, seashell pink, and on and on. Every time I work in my adult coloring book (no, it’s not what you are thinking) I’m grateful. Quelle experience!
