Sketchbook Deamer Dunn

Umbria sits in the center of Italy, positioned between Rome and Florence. This mostly mountainous region holds the most fabled hilltowns as well as valleys rich in foodstuffs and wine. Umbria with its cities that date back to the time of the Etruscans, has a long and storied history, equal to anywhere in Italy. From the fame of Assisi as the home to Saint Francis to little hidden away villages, Umbria is a place that will touch anyone's heart. Join this journey by making this book your own.

As a Journal/Coloring Book:

Not only am I not opposed to you turning this book over to a child or the kid in you, I would find it endearing that these drawings would inspire you to play with adding color. My paintings and even my writing, often start with the black and white of a sketch. In case you haven't heard, coloring books for adults are becoming quite a passion. Perhaps our ever-complicated world and its demands on our attention are fueling this trend. I think that we all wish that we had more time for reading. For many, perhaps a little coloring can still feed a passion for getting into a book and more easily allow the satisfaction of finishing something. Why settle for a computer created coloring book when you can add life to images created as a celebration of human richness? Families could find this book as a source for good conversation. How we all interact with each other is not only interesting, discussing this could be educational.

Not only is this book designed to be fun as a coloring book, it is also laid out in a journal format. By leaving you a blank page with each drawing, the idea is you can add your own thoughts, ideas and images. Why settle for a blank book to keep track of life when you can associate your thoughts with an image--a sketch that you can also add your own color to? The idea is that this is a book that you can make your own.

ENJOY!
