The weekend before Hurricane Sandy hit New York (about 6 months ago, it seems) Margaret and I took a group of Dalvero Academy artists up to Mystic Seaport for a weekend reportage workshop. What beautiful colors! It was so nice to steal an hour to sit with Marg and just paint the beauty we saw. […]
View post →In response to Hurricane Sandy’s devastating effects on the New York and New Jersey area, I and the other illustrators of Studio 1482 have each created a print of one of their favorite New York City images to raise money for the displaced victims of the storm, through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. For each […]
View post →Hurricane Sandy has blown through and taken a beating on my beloved New York City. This was the scene at Avenue D and 11th Street on Friday morning, it looked like a refugee camp. People lined up for a hot meal, food, blankets, diapers, anything you could need. Local fire hydrants were opened up and […]

View post →Been busier than ever this fall, it’s nice to stop and think about a wonderful summer a few years ago. I spent time in Barcelona drawing such things as the Sagrada Familia (above) and then Neil met me and after a nice long visit in Barcelona we went to Paris. Where he proposed. 🙂 That […]

View post →This past August, Margaret and I conducted our semi-annual class at Disney World in Orlando. GREAT place to draw and learn! One of the things everyone must draw is the Electric Light Parade, a beautiful Disney spectacle. I drew these two young girls while we were all waiting for the parade to begin on Main […]
View post →On my recent trip to Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, I met many wonderful people. Some were from the Urban Sketchers community; others lived in the city. Papito, above, was one of the nicest. I was drawing in his botanica in the Mercado, and he brought me a seat. So sweet! Once I finished […]

View post →As Margaret mentioned in last week’s post, she, Despina and I spent an afternoon together recently, doing some drawings in Times Square. The place was loaded with tourists, all craning their necks and popping their heads around to see all the hoopla that is the crossroads of the busiest city in America. Political protests, naked […]
View post →Another drawing from Parque Colon, Santo Domingo. This of a Dominican woman and her daughter. The people in Santo Domingo were definitely the best part of the city, which says a lot because the Colonial Zone felt architecturally like Seville, one of my favorite cities! Please visit my blog for more drawings of the people […]

View post →Just playing around one day at the Bethesda Fountain Terrace in Central Park. One of my favorite spots in Manhattan, not only because of its beauty, but also because the fountain sculpture was the first to be commissioned from a woman in NYC. : ) Happy Sunday! Posted by Veronica.
