Soaring Phoenix

Soaring upward with wide outstretched wings full of long flowing feathers, this majestic phoenix arches its graceful neck, lifts a crest of feathers on its head, and trails a long sweeping tail of flame-shaped plumes behind it, with a few small sparkles drifting nearby. The huge wings and trailing tail are made of long curved feathers that are perfect for fiery blends of red, orange, and yellow, while the open wings give younger colorers big shapes to fill. The phoenix is a mythical bird from ancient stories that was said to burst into flame and be reborn from its own ashes, making it a symbol of new beginnings. Coloring it is a fine time to talk about that idea of starting fresh. Blend warm colors along each feather for a glowing, flame-like effect. Print this phoenix on US Letter or A4 and set it ablaze with color.
