- 50 StatesA project of drawing all 50 states
My desire with the 50 states project is to draw each state featuring natural attributes unique to that state. No man made aspects will be part of the images (perhaps I can do that version after this one!). In addition to a natural looking landscape, I'll also incorporate something unique, like the state tree, flower, mammal, fish, bird, or something else!
*** this is an ongoing project and I'll add more states as I finish them ***
Some states are available on tea towels, totes & note cards.
