Colorful Journey

New Hampshire is a small state, but it has seven distinct and engaging regions. Colorful Journey includes an illustration and some history about every town from each region by artist Sue Anne Bottomley. From the smallest settlement to the major cities of Concord, Nashua, Manchester, and Portsmouth, follow along on one artist's endeavor to draw New Hampshire.

Sue Anne Bottomley is a New Hampshire native. Raised in NH and Massachusetts, and an art major at the University of New Hampshire, she left the area after her college graduation to live in Washington state, Maryland, and England. After many years away from home, she returned to live in New London, NH.

With her goal of exploring every corner of the state within two years, she drew all 234 towns on location-with colored pencil, ink and watercolor.
