This is one of many  watercolor/caran d’ache/pen and ink drawings I’ve made at the CPDSA circle in Central Park.  I was sitting on the ground getting an ant’s eye view of the skaters, so I decided to make the drawing about the skates and legs of the skaters.  A little pen and ink, a little watercolor and a little caran d’ache combined to make a colorful, motion drawing of these great skaters!

Pure fun!

Drawing information from, drawing inspiration from and, yes, drawing on paper from…the model. I had a great week of drawing, drawing and drawing at the Dalvero Academy. What a swell time!

My opinion is just that, an opinion. Whether or not there’s ‘a right’ or some think it ‘wise’ to build a mosque two blocks from where the World Trade Center crumbled – the timing is awful.

There are pivotal moments in history that require time and space for those who experience its chaos to process, accept, and heal from suffering caused by the choice of others. If the 9/11 Memorial was already established and there was confidence restored in the system ‘the right’ might be easier for many to acquiesce. But does that actually make it ‘right’ ?

Ironically this is a drawing I did six years before 9/11.

Who knew then what it would mean to me now? Michele

This is a straight pen-and-ink drawing I made at a folk music festival this past June. I love drawing, and sometimes it is so fun just to draw for no reason except out of love

When the dog days of August hit my thoughts often go to the Magic Kingdom, where I’ve spent so many HOT yet satisfying August days. This is a study I did of the carousel one year – what a magical place to draw. Posted by Veronica

July 4 on St. John in the US Virgin Islands, is Carnival Parade Day!  I was down there for my class reunion and we were all watching the parade when the Mocko Jumbies appeared!  I felt like I was back in grade school watching the St. Thomas Carnival Parade under the arches across from the old cable office near the Fort.  That was my favorite part of the parade, waiting for the mocko jumbie to appear from around the corner and down the street.  I endured the whip snapping terrifying clowns so that I could revel in the joy of the towering Mocko Jumbies!  Back then there may have been one or two Mocko Jumbies, today there are hundreds, men and women, girls and boys!  Makes me happy…
