I drew a few empty boxes as the light was getting low outside. This helped hide some of the extraneous detail of these plants, and I just went ahead and did some designing for fun. As is often the case I don’t really know where this is leading, but it was good to do. A […]

I made this marker drawing of the tip of a bush as the leaves swayed back and forth in front of a white fence. Some spots of the fence were warm and yellow, the others cold and blue. Greg Betza ©2023

I took a trip to the zoo. This guy/gal was hiding in the back and as if he knew I was having trouble seeing him, he came right up to the front and posed. Funny. And then my daughter decided to add her little touches to the drawing. The zoo here in Tampa is really […]

My daughter is 4. It’s been a while since I sat down to draw her, and wow was it fun. She moves constantly. I really can’t understand how I never really noticed it until I took a minute to really observe her. It’s funny how I missed what was right in front of me. Great […]

I drew “the dragon” from Universal Studio’s Harry Potter experience back in 2020. Back in 2020 I was just happy to be there doing something rather than locked down doing nothing. Anyway, it’s an impressive attraction, one which has everyone looking up and filled with anticipation. Greg Betza ©2023

This little plant, quite beautiful when healthy and blooming, has been basically this same size for months. It’s not thriving, just getting by. I’m sure we can all relate sometimes. Greg Betza ©2022

I did a few drawings of this plant in my yard, part of my morning drawing exercises. You can see the rest at my instagram page here. Have a great day and weekend. Greg Betza ©2022

I had 20 minutes to kill the other day and lucky I brought my sketchbook. Palm trees are everywhere in Florida so if you like drawing them, there’s no shortage of inspiration. Greg Betza ©2022

Drew this as I was about to experience my second direct hit hurricane, first as a homeowner. All was calm, the palms were still. Greg Betza ©2022 #hurricaneian
