View post →The US and Cuba are on a path to restore diplomatic relations on July 20 – a historic event. On my recent trip to Cuba, I saw a lot of poverty, as in this neighborhood surrounding the house that “Papa” Ernest Hemingway lived in for years. When I talk about this, people will sometimes say to me, “Well, all […]

View post →As Marg pointed out in yesterday’s post, we just returned from Cuba. I have been fighting a traveler’s cold, and not able to scan too much yet, but wanted to put up this drawing as a ‘bocadito’ – or little snack. Will be posting my drawings and thoughts on the experience on my home blog […]

View post →Rush hour in Amsterdam. It’s true, people on bicycles are as thick at rush hour as people in cars are here in NYC. If only the Citibike plan actually worked, I could be making this drawing on the corner of 1st Ave and 14th St., instead of having to fly across the Atlantic to make it. […]

The seaport was so beautiful in the snow on Sunday, and it was so dreamlike to see the masts of the Charles W. Morgan, anchored at Chubb’s Wharf, peeking over the tops of the trees and […]
