The title of this post says it all…it was a rainy day in Havana. But really, that is only the beginning of what one could say about Havana. A most unusual place, seemingly cut out of another time, with so many extremes and hundreds of sensations. I loved the place and it’s people. Havana sits […]

I’m not always able to make it over to the Society of Illustrator’s Sketch Nights – but when it’s a Moulin Rouge theme, how can I resist? All of my favorite things wrapped up into one lacy French package. 🙂 You can see some more of my illustrations from the evening on my blog, HERE. […]

This thumbnail was the start of the Central Park game, see the […]

One of the joys of my life is that I am a step-mother to three wonderful young women, and a step-grandma to one little girl named Amelia, who turned five this week. We took her to Disneyworld to become ‘princessified’ at the Bibbity-Bobbity-Boutique for her 5th birthday. Here is the before and after: at left, […]

I love bridges. So when I was in Porto this summer, I had no choice but to stop and make a pen and ink drawing of the beautiful Maria Pia bridge, that spans the Douro River, connecting Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. The bridge was designed by Gustav Eiffel. Yes, THAT Eiffel. What a […]

Labor Day weekend brought Neil and I to Longwood Gardens, a place we’d visited (and loved) 10 years ago. It was just as lush and beautiful as ever. We spent some time in what’s called the “idea gardens”, where students collaborate to make beauty together. My idea was to try to fit all the layers […]
