Veronica’s drawing of Belvedere Castle “beautiful view” in Central Park this past Sunday reminded me of a drawing I did a year or two back of St.Patrick’s Cathedral in all it’s “Gothic ecclesiastical way” I thought would be fun to share with you this week. May yours be peaceful and productive .– Michele

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 →My husband owns a martial arts school in Queens and a few Saturday’s back I took the opportunity to draw two of his 7 year old (girl) students kickboxing and learning how to defend themselves. If you think 7 is too young to kickbox, you should see the 5 year olds holding their own! (All […]

View post →Funny that last weeks post was titled “Till we meet again”. For those of you that saw the post, it was a simple reflection on the season change. As I was beginning to put together this morning’s post the title seemed even more appropriate than it did then. There are certain dates in ones life […]

View post →When at Epcot drawing one day I went to Japan, the pavilion, not the real deal! I love that pavilion. Some Japanese ladies came out into the open area in front in their kimonos and with their beautiful hairdos and makeup. This is one of those ladies. She has been put through a few filters… […]
View post →Another drawing from my little book of memories. I made this drawing thinking of a rainy day in Montmartre when I peered through the fence on the perimeter of the last winery in Paris. It rained more than it didn’t that fall, and I found I preferred it that way. ~Despina

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 […]

View post →Along with my fellow Studio 1482 members, Veronica, Margaret, and Despina, I too spent the day at the High Line with the French illustrator and Urban Sketcher, Lapin. Here is a drawing of him drawing. I was sitting on top of a bench slightly above him. Greg Betza ©2012
View post →Was feeling a little out of sorts the other day, so I went out to the park to draw and play with some graphics. I was cheered up by drawing my two favorite trees and also by the curious squirrel who came by to see what I was doing. Posted by Veronica.

View post →So Eddie’s and Michele’s latest posts inspired me to post my own version of the famous cathedral. I made this drawing 10 summers ago. It’s part of a drawing book that I hold very dear to my heart. One that is never too far from my drawing board. I’ve moved 4 times since I filled […]
View post →Drew this while having a late lunch downtown. Other than the tourists who probably have no idea who Jeff Koons is, not a soul was paying attention to the sculpture. Understandably so.—Dominick
