DRAW-NH!
My big New Hampshire project - Draw all 234 towns in the state.
I drew Town #234 on Saturday, November 17, 2012, at the Salmon Falls Mills in Rollinsford, completing the project within my self-assigned goal of two years. And now the book has been published!
Click the map to visit the project. From there you can go directly to an image of every New Hampshire town as it appears in the blog.
Or, by using the search box at the upper left of every page here on the blog, you can find all occurrences of a town’s name (or any other word you might be looking for) from throughout the entire blog.
Or you can buy my book, which contains the ‘official’ drawing of each town. Some people keep it in their car and check off the pages as they make their own colorful journey throughout the state.

Introduction
I live in the woods near the small college town of New London (New Hampshire, USA) on the east coast of America. My husband assists me with technical aspects of the blog.
I was born, raised (well, until age 6 and summers) and educated in New Hampshire. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire in Durham, in Fine Arts and French. I have lived a few years outside of the United States…in England, France, and Germany. We as a family lived in Maryland from 1970 to 2008. We have been back living in New Hampshire for over seven years now. As well, we love to travel, and are often in western Canada, where our grandchildren live.
I plan to share drawings, paintings, and other art explorations here on my blog. And then add some commentary about the scene that inspired the work.
Here’s a great site called Urban Sketchers, which has links to people all around the world who love to draw on location. I am listed under the members section.

I wrote a few lines on how I make my drawings, and what materials I use. Click here on ‘Try It’ to read in detail about my methods.

Always enjoy your new posts! The detail here is a lot of fun...as I can practically hear what they're playing in each drawing. You make me want to pick up a sketch pad...now that's funny! Your travels are certainly far and wide!!
