Coloring Maine

Woodblock prints by artist Blue Butterfield make for a welcome and uncommon entry in the coloring book market. The artist's hand-carved lines allow the colorer to bring more of his or her own artistic interpretation to the page, coloring inside or outside of the lines to create an original piece of art. Butterfield's prints capture the beauty of Maine's varied landscapes, from Acadia to Katahdin, from inland ponds to brick-lined streets, from swimming holes to the rugged coast. Spanning all four seasons, this coloring book will delight young artists and adult colorers alike.
