People-watching
This is a pen and ink drawing of tourists I did on location at the Animal Kingdom in Florida last month. I was fascinated by textures and marks that day, and admit I was relieved when only one of the subjects wanted to see the drawing…
Mystic Seaport
This is a drawing I made in the shipyard up at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut. For the past few years, Margaret and I have been bringing the artists of the Dalvero Academy – including several Studio 1482 members – up there to draw and document the restoration of the Morgan, the only wooden whaling ship left in the world. It has been an incredible experience for all of us. The museum is hosting an exhibition of our work this spring – stay tuned for more details to come!

Mama and Baby elephant 2
I found another of the series of ink and washes drawings of Mama and Baby elephants. This one is a protective hug and trunk caress by Mama of her little baby.
Grand Central Terminal
A drawing I made in Grand Central Terminal, New York City a few years back when I could really feel the heightened security.
A GREAT place to draw regardless.
Let it snow…let it snow
Woke this morning to a blanket of snow. The kids were out early taking advantage of it’s fresh start. Me myself? …preferred nothing more than admiring it from inside with a yummy hot chocolate. – Have a warm one, Michele
The very last drawing I did…
Again, not the week I had planned. But it is nearly over. —Dominick

Cali farmer’s market
The fragrant deliciousness of California organic fruits pretty much defies description, and the ripe apricots I bought at the Culver City farmer’s market were best in show. This a chalk sketch I did of a middle-aged local assessing some of the goodies at that stand.
Washington DC
I rang in the New Year by spending some time teaching with Margaret at our Dalvero Academy workshop in Washington DC. We had GREAT weather for the mall – 67 degrees – and then it snowed a few days later. But by then we were in the museums. Wow, the Smithsonian branches have so much information it’s almost crazy.
Couldn’t do much drawing since I was teaching, but I did manage a little bit here and there. This is a view of the Air and Space museum, from a corner near the back – ha! Always good to practice drawing any chance I get.
Happy 2012 everyone, hope it’s a year full of One Drawing A Day!

Patterned Fantasy Landscape 3
Number three in the Patterned Fantasy Landscape. This is my triptych vineyard fantasy…
an Artist’s prayer
Simple line drawing (St.Francis of Assisi) shared by Michele
Prayer to live by … the great Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475 – 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo.
Waiting to Play
Kids waiting to play basketball at a local park.
German Vacation
Don’t ask me what made me bring pastels on vacation to Germany with me (one guess how Germans reacted to the artist dragging the billowing chalk dust cloud wherever she went). This is a sketch i made in almost complete darkness in another one of Ludwig II’s lairs, this time of the golden boat floating in the pond of his artificial underground “opera grotto”. Apparently he liked to float in the boat while Wagner operas were being performed on the little stage surrounded by papermaché stalachtites. It was also one of the first indoor uses of electricity in the 1870ies or so. Needless to mention this part of Alpine castle Linderhof did not quite match the rest of the 19th Century Bavarian Baroque décor.
