The artwork of Gabriella Denton is full of bright colors and whimsy. She paints scenes of country life, gardens, and her favorite animals, but with a twist. Rather than making realistic pictures, Denton paints critters and people that make us laugh. Have you ever seen anything like her red, spotted elephant, her rooster riding a tricycle, or her wiener dog in a patterned coat with his big pal by his side? You’ll have so much fun coloring all these happy, funny pictures.
There are outline drawings of twenty-one Gabriella Denton paintings in this book. Take a look at the pictures printed on the inside front and back covers so you can see the artist’s original colors. You might want to imitate them or you might want to go wild with different ones. The last two pages of the book are blank so you can make pictures of your own. Can you draw and color critters that are just as playful as Gabriella Denton’s?
