Morning Glory Murmurs on a Garden Gate coloring page
Morning glory vines twist over a rustic garden gate and when their trumpet-shaped flowers open, they give the morning welcome with quiet elegance.
This beautiful coloring page is a scenery of the soft hug of morning glory vines growing up and winding around an old fashioned garden gate. The natural twisting and curving of each of the slender stems interweaves itself around the vertical slats of the gate and is decorated with heart shaped leaves picked out in the verdant shades of your choice or the unexpected jewel toned shades. Of trumpet form are the flowers peeping forth amidst the foliage, all open and others only newly unfolding, each petal bordered with thin lines which invite a touch of soft blue, or purple, or pink, where the centre might radiate in hot yellows or warm whites. The weather-worn wood grain and iron hinges of the gate itself offer an interesting surface on which to pop the detail of the blossoms. between the vines and slats you can fill in your dewdrop-dangled petals or a bit of garden beyond--low stone wall, sprinkles of pebbles, vistas of flower beds shyly faded at a distance to give an impression of distance. You can use softer pastel washes to recreate the drifting light of the dawn, or you can be more dramatic as you balance strong structure and ethereal flowers, and shade your scene with a peaceful timelessness, when handcraft meets nature in its natural harmony.
