Another Central Park dance skater gone wild! Â It happens…a lot. Â They can’t seem to help themselves. Â They just have to go a little nuts now and then and I’m more than happy to be there watching and drawing when it happens! Â Keep going wild, and I promise, I’ll keep drawing!

The hydrangea is my favorite flower and it’s in full bloom all over the city: in Central Park, in beautiful ceramic pots in front of high rises and in window boxes in front of old brownstones! Â I don’t know why I love it so, […]

View post →The Bubble Man hangs out in different places around the city, so it was great to see him in Central Park. Â I had a little conversation with him and he said he loves doing it because of the expressions on the faces of the children when they finally pop a bubble. Â Ironically, he loves creating […]
View post →These are the Dirty Urchins! Â They were playing in Central Park on a beautiful afternoon last week at the Bethesda Fountain. Â The sax player is the spokesman and the comedian of the group. Â Very funny material! Â As I’m writing this I’m listening to their CD. Â A couple of the songs I like are, “Don’t Let […]
View post →I drew these three people enjoying their cold sodas on a hot day.  The one lady saw me drawing her and was checking me out.  Apparently she was intrigued by the idea of  being drawn and occasionally peeped at me to see how it was going!  Nice group!

View post →The Metropolitan Museum of Art has the latest, and largest to date, Roxy Paine steel tree sculpture on its rooftop. Â It’s beautiful and I’m going back with bigger paper to make a larger drawing. Â This sculpture is incredible!

View post →Hi, Margaret here! Last Saturday was National Pigeon Day. There is a gathering of pigeon lovers who extol the wonders and glories of pigeons. I could only stay for a little while, but for the brief time I was there I never saw an actual pigeon! How ironic that there would not be a pigeon at this […]
