US FUTURE STATES PAINTINGS
Each US Future States Atlas works on paper includes a painting passage of the a lands that is to become a new state. Typically, these are based on the most beautiful representation of the lands I could find: representing elevations, population density, forestations, or something similar. I separated it from the key and painted it, aspiring to make it exquisite, the land of our desire. I selected some to paint large, usually void of other information. Below are some of them.
