Just a couple of pelicans sitting around, catching a breeze along the Florida coast. These birds have such personality: they’re too cool. posted by Veronica
View post →I love drawing musician, especially jazz musicians. They get so lost in their music, the same way I get lost in the drawing. It’s a totally simpatico experience! Posted by Veronica
View post →I freely admit, I have a love/hate relationship with Chicago. Great city, great people, great architecture. So what’s the problem? It’s cold in Chicago. I mean, REALLY COLD! The “windy city” is so aptly named it’s amazing. I actually had to hold on to a street light to keep myself from being blown down the block like […]
View post →The Cook Islands is beyond any experience of rural I have ever had. There are two buses on this island: clockwise and counter-clockwise. Brilliant. posted by Veronica
View post →Fall is long gone, but I thought it might be nice to remember the feeling in this watercolor made at the Central Park boathouse. posted by Veronica
View post →When visiting Amsterdam for the first time last August with my husband Neil, I thought that looking for windmills would be asking too much. And yet, there is was! The fact that it was pouring rain at the time did not deter my excitement at making this drawing of what, to me, is a quintessential […]

View post →The Beatles said it – “all you need is love.” Here’s a wish for more of that in 2015. Happy New Year everyone. Drawn on location in Philadelphia by Veronica Lawlor.
View post →Since so many people are busy today with food shopping and cooking, in preparation for the holidays, I thought this drawing of a vegetable stand in San Francisco’s Chinatown would be appropriate to post. Enjoy the holidays everyone, and blessings in the New Year. posted by Veronica
View post →Here is another pastel drawing I made while visiting Sedona with fellow 1482-er Margaret Hurst a few years ago. What a gorgeous place – the landscape is so beautiful you almost can’t believe it’s real! There are supposedly areas in Sedona called ‘vortexes’ where you can feel some kind of gravitational pull of the Earth. […]

View post →New Orleans is really a romantic city – the jazz music, the voodoo vibe, the paddle boats, the wrought iron architecture and of course, the horse & carriages that are all over the city. The sound of horse hooves clomping down the cobblestone streets (I forgot that in the list!) really adds to the atmosphere. […]
View post →I think Robin Hood really did live here. Or maybe it was Maid Marion? Could this be where Howard Pyle did his illustrations? Saw this tower at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania last weekend, and I couldn’t help but want to draw it! Having an Adirondack chair, nice weather, and Neil drawing next to me didn’t […]

View post →Every year during the summer time in NYC, the fishermen line up along the East River on New York’s lower east side. They are out here every day, looking for treasure in the rivers around the Big Apple. They do seem to catch something, and they eat it, too! Not sure how I’d feel about […]
View post →I spent Labor Day weekend 2009 in Pennsylvania visiting the Brandywine museum (heavenly!) and the Chaddsford Winery nearby. The winery was hosting a jazz festival wine tasting event. I have to say, I had been there two years earlier and the wines from this local winery have improved quite a bit. The Proprietors Reserve White […]
