I fell into a rabbit hole at midnight. That’s all it took – one random article about how Greyhounds run, and suddenly I was reading about double suspension gallop, about all four paws leaving the ground at the same time, about a dog literally becoming airborne mid-stride. I read it three times. And somewhere between the second and third read, I just knew. I had to make Greyhound coloring pages. By the time I looked up, it was almost 4 a.m. and I had ten of them.
The ears on the Greyhounds were small and sleek, pinned flat against their heads as they ran, mouths slightly open like they were grinning, legs fully extended – a couple of them looking like they’d completely left the earth behind. That’s what every single one of these Greyhounds looked like. The elegance is different from what you’d find in Husky coloring pages – these are pure speed and aerodynamic grace frozen mid-flight. A few of these are just – quiet. White space, clean lines, one Greyhound. And then there were the others – tiny claw marks etched into the ground behind them, blades of grass mid-air, kicked up in the wake.
Click on any image you like and it’ll pull up the full version – save it, print it, make it yours. Grab whatever you’ve got – crayons, markers, colored pencils, doesn’t matter – and go make these Greyhounds yours. Color it once, color it again – there’s always something new hiding in there that you somehow missed the last time.
