Hello. Back
in 2012 I was
featured on our week night TV program New Hampshire Chronicle as
I neared the end
of my
Draw-NH project. We’re a small state, but we’ve got a lot of
towns. From
2011-12, I visited them all and drew what caught my eye in each.
There’s a link to
the Chronicle
piece in the Recent
Publicity section of
the sidebar here, down a little bit on the right. I
finished
the project a month
later at
Town #234,
Rollinsford.
By 2014, I had
learned how to put all these drawings into a book.
Then, with
my new knowledge of publishing,
I made two more books over the next four years. The
proof copy of a
fourth book
just arrived in the mail, and after a few tweaks will join the three others at Amazon or for order at any bookshop. These
days, pretty much
stuck at home, I can
be found with my morning coffee,
sketching and
painting in my sunny
window seat.
So in this time of virtual travel, we contacted the Chronicle people and suggested that they might like to do an update and take things right up to the present. They jumped at the opportunity. I had a video conversation with the producer via Zoom, and then we had a very intense couple of days of gathering up samples from all 4 books and other recent work to send to them. This will all be skillfully edited down to 6 minutes, and aired at 7PM Eastern on Wednesday May 13th.
