So….here you go -what represents Jersey City to me…Statue of Liberty and Iron Cast Railings

Is an amazing Sketch!!! In my country (México) “El angel de la independencia” (The independence angel) is the most representative!

My town is trees and trees and wild turkeys in the road.
Dogs walking their humans around the circle and children playing.
It’s nice and I’m still getting used to the quiet after 9 years (after living in a noisy city (Lawrence, MA) for 15 years.

Great artistic view of NJ and what it means to you. My hometown is in the deep south so I love the old homes in the downtown ares as well as other historic place with a definite vintage look.

Love your sketch!…and colors! Thinking of trying to start sketching again as i did many years ago. Thanks for all the beautiful things you show to all, Nat. Now my answer to your quest:
Oh, my Puerto Rico, so small (35 m x 100 m) in special Caimito rural zone where i have been living for more than 40 years! So many shades of green, with the red-ora tones of the flamboyants, trinitarias in lilac, pink, red… the flowered roble tree with its lavender color in full, you name it… the smell of the Hilan-Hilan tree, and after 6 pm, the cigarra’s orchestra, and the sweet coquí- coqui, this is what i am in love with…Dont see me living in other place, with a different weather…

What represents my little town in rural Georgia? Dogwoods and Azaleas in bloom, the smell of burning leaves and barbecue and the tiny post office.

Nat, Love the colors in your sketch. My town in South Jersey is only one mile long by one mile wide. We have one traffic light. Not too much traffic like Jersey City has but not as easy to visit New York City. Take care.

How fun- only one traffic light! Less traffic is good – it is crazy here! :)

You sound so homesick! Yikes!
My city in NC is special because of the people.
