Soothing, stress-relieving coloring book based on Colonial, Pennsylvanian Dutch, and Pennsylvanian German Folk Art from the settlers of America in the 1700s through the late 1800s. Whimsical subjects like birds, flowers--especially tulips!--and early rustic life. Each of the 20 pages is one-sided and illustrated by hand by the author, turning antique styles of artistic expression into simple but elegant subjects for the reader to explore and color while relaxing. 20 one-sided illustrations (40 pages in all). - Unique and whimsical drawings by author and illustrator Howard Clarke. Based on early American samplers, imaginative décor, amazing and funny designs, and even dishware. - Fun drawings for low-stress coloring and total relaxation. - Recommended: using colored pencils to avoid bleed-through on pages. These fun and relaxing coloring pages are based on the odd and imaginative illustrations and drawings made by Dutch and German Pennsylavanian settlers of the 1700, 1800, and early 1900s in early American homes.  Adapted to be soothing and easy-on-the eyes for today's readers and artists. Howard Clarke is author of The Door Into Whimsy, an illustrated fantasy for all ages.
