It took a little while longer for the flotilla to arrive than had been announced. This wasn’t afterall, an airline flight or a train schedule we were waiting for. There were no stars making their way, no dignitaries—nothing that tends to bring people out in crowds like this on a hot late spring day. Making […]
View post →This summer The New York Botanical Garden has hosted a series of exhibitions called the “Edible Gardens”. I was fortunate enough to find myself in the middle of this delicious cooking demonstration. I’m going back when Emeril Lagasse shows up next month! Enjoy. Eddie Peña

View post →I drew these three people enjoying their cold sodas on a hot day.  The one lady saw me drawing her and was checking me out.  Apparently she was intrigued by the idea of  being drawn and occasionally peeped at me to see how it was going!  Nice group!
View post →I think I’ll take a break from posting holiday facts on onedrawingaday. I will continue the project on my own blog, so come on over to check out what’s going on in the world on any given day. So for the next few weeks, I’d like to share some drawings I made this summer during […]
View post →I’ve just returned from an amazing trip to Greece. My family and I visited Crete, Santorini and Athens and we were fortunate to have ample time to create some art. This painting is of the river Xydas in the village of Kalyves on the island of Crete. The three boats have become somewhat of a […]

A place where respect and quiet is demanded. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is colossal, and when you walk in it only gets bigger. It’s a great place to draw, where you can stay cool and no one bothers you. Eddie Peña
View post →Few things compare to the pleasure of going through a muesum and drawing what catches your eye…
View post →Every Sunday I like to visit the Farmer’s Market and see what comes in from the farms around New York City. Lots of fresh produce, lots of freshly baked goods and lots of freshly cut flowers! Makes me feel like Eliza Doolittle when I get a big bunch of daisies to bring home to my […]

View post →Believe it or not, not much is going on in the world today by way of holidays. So, if you’re thinking of doing something special and getting worldwide recognition for it, today is a great day to do it. It’s totally open for you! In place of the usual holiday-themed drawing, I’d like to share […]
View post →Another drawing from a few years back when I spent the better part of a long summer reportage-ing all around New York. Often I feel overwhelmed at Rockefeller Center, maybe because there is so much to look at, great art, architecture, tons of people, I don’t know, but on this day I was able to […]

Can it be that just two days ago I was sitting on Main Street listening to that familiar clang of the bells as […]
View post →Just figured it was a good day for a song. Something traditional. A classic. Easily sung along with. Happy Saturday everybody.
View post →The American Museum of Natural History, one of my favorite places to go and disappear. It is a world of fun and adventure, where the past is brought to life and the present is magnified. If you have not gone, GO! Eddie Peña
View post →Walking through the second floor of the Met Museum in NYC I love browsing through museums, and taking emotional notes with either my brain or my pen (or, as in this case, with pencil and crayon)
View post →I had to post another drawing of these dudes. They are too cool. And such a part of summer in the East Village. That’s why I love my neighborhood – it hasn’t lost it’s personality over the years. Great stuff. Think I’ll have some fish for dinner tonight…I usually cast my line at the Associated […]
