Belle Jardin

Belle Jardin is the second coloring book from artist Peggy Jo Ackley. Ackley's illustrations continue to create a special place where inspiration and artful creation reign. One doesn't need artistic skills or special tools to make any and all of Peggy's gloriously celebratory art your own. Specially designed for grown-ups new to the world of adult coloring books, and for experienced coloring enthusiasts alike, the 88 original pieces found in Belle Jardin are for those who yearn for a quiet, mindful activity where the mind can relax and creativity can blossom. Whether markers, pens, or colored pencils are used, Ackley offers artwork for everyone. Pages are filled with drawings of gorgeous fruits, vegetables and herbs; others feature inspirational quotations with hand lettering and calligraphy to color, others feature illustrated garden elements such as vintage seed packets and olive oil tins, while others feature a beautifully hand drawn fruit bowl accompanied by a delicious recipe like homemade applesauce raisin bread! Printed on high-quality, extra-thick paper that prevents designs from bleeding through, Belle Jardin is a stand-out among its competitors. Its perforated pages allow the finished piece to be framed or displayed however you choose.
