I've been working my way through the states as a set of prints for a while now. I've been having so much fun with them!
It's a progressive series - when it first began I was adding flowers for decoration, but after a few states, I decided to make the flowers each state's specific state flower.
My first two state prints:
original versions
The first two states I painted were Michigan and West Virginia; after a while with the black text and decorative flowers, they no longer fit with the flow of the series -- so I decided to update them!
The newly updated Michigan print is in the same color scheme as the original, but with new color-coordinating hand lettering and features the state flower - the Apple Blossom.
The updated West Virginia also features new blue hand lettering and the state flower- the Rhododendron.
These states are my and my husband's home states, so it was very special to me to be able to update them and give them even more meaning.
I hope to be adding even more state prints soon! (hint, DC-metro area!)
