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.

Here is a drawing I made at Bryant Park on a day much warmer than today.

Fashion-y study

Found this one in an old sketchbook. I like the design and the structure of the clothes.

I can’t remember where i was heading, just that I had time to make a drawing as I waited to board. -Greg

I’ve been doing some work in New York City these last few weeks and have made a few drawings of the “happy” commuters. Here are two.

If you’d like to see more, check out my blog where there is a series of these drawings. -Greg Betza

Trees at the end of the season

A pair of trees shedding the last of their leaves awaiting the coming winter.

Cold day

Greg — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 13:44:48 +0000

Yesterday’s unseasonably cold weather reminded me of this drawing I made last year. It was an unseasonably warm day then, but I was standing on a patch of ice that had yet to melt and by the time I had made this drawing outside of the American Museum of Natural History, I was trembling. Suffering for art I suppose…

Enjoy this Veteran’s Day and remember all that have served and sacrificed.

Town Hall

Greg — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 12:47:25 +0000

Here is a drawing from a concert I attended (during then unscheduled nor’easter) at Town Hall NYC last Saturday. The performer, Jeff Mangum, had not performed for nearly 13 years so it was a room filled with an unusual level of anticipation.

Tailgating

Greg — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:51:14 +0000

Tailgating at a football game in 83° weather is such a treat for fans living in the North-East. Here’s a drawing of some people standing around eating and drinking in their shorts, flip-flops and of course football jerseys.

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks

Greg — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 12:51:29 +0000

Had a chance to catch the ex-Pavement frontman last Sunday night at Webster Hall in NYC. I decided to break out the black paper and crayons for this one. I always enjoy working in this “reverse” way and I just felt like it captured the mood a bit better than black on white…however, I did make a few pen drawings as well. You can see the entire series of drawings on my blog www.gregbetza.com

flowers for Friday

This watercolor study was painted at the New York Botanical Garden. The gardens are one of my favorite places to work, a place where you can sit peacefully, surrounded by beauty. Have a great weekend.
