While watching the Parade in Animal Kingdom, James and I collaborated on a few drawings. James would color marks on the page as he waited for the next animal float to come. Just when it would pass, his crayon and jaw would drop simultaneously, and I would take it from there. This is the camel […]

I always go back to my drawings of Lynn. Loveliest of models. -Despina
View post →And I sat down to draw in my yard and chose the lavender as my subject. Up against the white wall, unassuming and not yet flowering. Nothing more than a shrub, really. I thought it looked lovely. -Despina
View post →Okay, I’ve discovered that I am kind of terrible at bowling. Here’s a look at the difference between how I bowl and how my friend Nadia bowls. She is so graceful and almost looks like she’s dancing out there. She’s really good. I on the other hand was so uncoordinated and just…well…I was a mess! […]
View post →So glad to see the little leaves sprouting on the trees. So happy summer is on its way. -Despina
View post →Like Greg wrote in the previous post, I too, found a drawing that I made at the Tuilleries Garden in Paris that I haven’t seen in quite a while. Today’s forecast calls for HOT, and on the day I was drawing in the gardens, it was sweltering! The white statues and sculptures were glaring white […]

View post →No, they weren’t mean geese, they were just located in Crete. I was with my family enjoying a day at the lake in Kourna when my father mentioned how these geese travel from Africa. I always find it so fascinating and cool to imagine where ducks and geese-and all birds for that matter- go during […]

View post →After spending such a long time on that bridge drawing, I remember I couldn’t get the smell of the exhaust from all the cars out of my nose or the taste out of my mouth! But I also remember being with some really great people. It was a long time ago, and every time I […]
View post →Top of the morning everyone! I’ve heard that real Irish people in Ireland don’t like and never use this saying, but I’ve always liked it and feel pretty cool that I know the lesser-known correct response. -Despina ps- the correct response is “and the rest of the day to yourself!” Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
View post →Another night at Barnes and Noble. I like to end the day there and read and people watch and prep for the day ahead. Apparently, many other people do, too. Monday night was a full house. It was very tough finding a place to sit at the café, but once I did, I didn’t budge […]
View post →using my left hand, from the model, with my two year old on my lap and singing Yellow Submarine. Can’t beat that. -Despina
View post →This is a drawing of a mom and her boy doing double duty as they were having dinner and taking care of a little homework. The boy had curly hair and such long, dark lashes I could see them from across the room! -Despina

View post →Animal Kingdom is a beautiful place. I sometimes find it hard to look away long enough to make a drawing. This drawing is of some ruins that are laying amongst the bushes and trees in the Asia section of the park. It’s been made into a shrine by the “locals” and really, it’s stunning. As […]
View post →I’ve been combing through my work from years past. Plucking out a few drawings I like and will be posting here on ODAD. This one is of a truck. I like the design and the simple line, and thought it would make a good post for the day. -Despina
