Another watercolor/drawing of Titania from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream. Â Apparently the play has been on my mind quite a bit these last few weeks! Perhaps is because the summer days have been ending and the fall days beginning. I do love fall, but there is something about the warm, full summer days that I […]
View post →This little lady is one of the fairies from A Midsummer’s Night Dream, crouching quietly in the leaves and flowers but buzzing  and glowing with impish energy! Life is but a dream! Again, cheers William Shakespeare! Margaret Hurst
View post →One of many thumbnails drawn for Shakespeare’s, Midsummer’s Night Dream, of Titania. I believe this particular work of Shakespeare is my favorite. I love the characters, the story , the fantasy and all the possibilities that lay inside this beautiful work of literature/art. How many dreams have I had that feel as real as this play? […]
View post →Another drawing/watercolor of two Japanese ladies inspired by the Japanese Pavilion at Epcot. They share one umbrella. I truly love the patterns and patterning that you find in Japan: water, nature, fabric, everything! So beautiful! Margaret Hurst

View post →Ronnie and Kika and I were talking about the drawings we have made of her, Kika, over these many years! Kika was modeling in class the other day in her Kika the Nun outfit. It is without a doubt my favorite piece of clothing to draw! And, of course, Kika is a faboulous model who […]

Veronica Lawlor invited Urban Sketchers to join her and Lapin and his lovely wife and daughter to come draw. Ironically, when I looked out to draw all I could see was Lapin sitting […]

View post →Times Square in July! Fellow studio 1482ers Despina, Veronica and I went to draw in Times Square on Wednesday. We were lucky. It wasn’t as hot as it might have been in July, but there was a huge amount of activity! People from all parts of the world were walking around taking pictures and watching […]
View post →This is one of a few designs I created for E&J Gallo. I decided it would be fun to use mixed media for it. So I drew the horse and added strands of fabric and used cotton fabric l that I had painted and scanned and layered  everything in together. It was a fun job! […]
View post →A few weeks ago I went to the Rooftop Gardens at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to take a look at the sculpture, Cloud City, by Tomas Saraceno. This is a very quick drawing, only had time to make one, so I’m going to go back! Â This is a beautiful and fun sculpture. You don’t […]
