I love to check out the Gandhi statue in Union Square. I was there the other day and decided it had been awhile since I drew Mr. Gandhi, so I decided to draw him, Sunflowers and all! Margaret Hurst
View post →While on the trip to Cuba we drove into the countryside west of Havana. This gentleman was sitting on his bull while his friends were talking on the bench. The tree was huge with its beautiful large green leaves. A beautiful day in Vinales! m. hurst

I am honored to be one of those artists along with Veronica Lawlor, Julia Sverchuk and Evan Turk! This is my artwork which is on the cover of the Canson Canva Artboards cover. Veronica Lawlor’s artwork is on […]
View post →There are many perros y gatos in the streets of Habana. They are sweet, beautiful animals who seek love and warmth and some food, but mostly love and warmth. This little girl came over to me while Ronnie and Julia and I were drawing on the waterfront in Habana. She walked right over and sat […]
View post →I loved Ronnie’s previous post of the cigar smokers! It was a truly fun evening in Cuba drawing the cigar smokers at our hotel! They were so into it! It turns into this ritual fantasy. The body language tells it all! They are definitely in another zone. Could have drawn them forever! m. hurst
View post →This gentleman’s name is Armando. He lives in Cuba. Ronnie, Julia and I were drawing on the waterfront in downtown Habana when this gentleman showed up. He threw flowers in the water. We asked him why he did this. He said it was for his baby daughter, that she would be well. He asked us […]

View post →After this past drawing weekend at Dalvero I was looking through some drawings and found a few of Kika. Here she is metamorphosed into a nun. What will she be next time? Always fabulous, Kika! m.hurst
View post →Another May Day Union Square drawing. As I talked about before I was a little surprised, but not, that there were so many different issues being brought to light. Truthfully, one issue usually relates to at least one or more other issues, and this protest proved that! M_Hurst
View post →Last Friday I left my class at Parsons and walked over to get the subway and discovered crowds of people from many different causes gathered at the front of Union Square to protest. Peacefully. It was May Day! This is the exodus of the multiple groups as they headed east and downtown after listening to […]
View post →A few weeks ago I went with Veronica Lawlor and Julia Sverchuk to the Society of Illustrators to draw some incredible models. Great night! As I was drawing the models I was feeling the vibe from the artists across from me. I couldn’t resist, so I drew them too! So much fun! Intense! Margaret Hurst
View post →Another drawing from the Synaesthesia Social workshop taught by Veronica Lawlor and hosted by Ted Michalowski. These are the hands of Jason Smeltzer and the Theremin Box. I found his playing to be omnipotent; the floating musical hands of Oz! Again, an incredible performance by all the musicians! Had fun drawing next to Julia Sverchuk! […]
View post →I went to a club with Ronnie and Julia in the city where we were also joined by Mary Ann. These musicians were incredible, as well as the singer, hiding between two of the musicians in the drawing! I think music and drawing make an incredible couple! Margaret Hurst
View post →Â A tryptic of the model Kika in one of her fantastic, fancy, frilly gowns! Had a great time drawing the beautiful black shape of the gown. Going a little crazy abstract with it! A joy! Margaret Hurst
View post →Took a trip to Scranton with Julia Sverchuk and Veronica Lawlor because Veronica, Ronnie, was conducting a drawing workshop for Synaesthesia Social hosted by Ted Michalowski. These musicians were incredible, and incredibly in tuned with each other! Jamie Orfanella played the didgeridoo. I have included the other musicians in the drawing with their hands: Tyler […]
View post →So, Dalvero went up to Mystic Seaport a few weeks ago and began reportaging the Mayflower II! So googled the mayflower flower and there were some very interesting definitions and symbols of the flower. One symbolic meaning is that of purification. Purification: the true essence cleanses the heart of negativity and stimulates love and forgiveness. […]

View post →This is a drawing of some of the people who work in the Chinese Pavilion at Epcot Center at Disney World. They were standing in various places around the pavilion so I went around to draw each them and designed them on the same page. The Chinese Pavilion is an amazing place to draw people […]
View post →A really quick drawing of a man on the subway. Decided not to take a manspreading picture and make a drawing instead! Always fun to make a drawing!!! Margaret Hurst
