Original paintings by W.D. Gaither in the form of Limited Prints, Ornaments, Coloring Books, & More! The Art of the States series has been described as "the finest collection of native birds and wildflowers accomplished since John James Audubon roamed the wilderness". Each beautiful work of art depicts the bird, flower or tree, and capital building of each state and is the only series to capture the official state symbols as designated by U.S. Congress! Numbered in order of admission to the Union, the first limited edition, signed and numbered collector print was released in 1975. This unique and masterful series is the culmination months of research, thousands of sketches, countless hours of effort and over six years in completion.
