View post →On the heels of Despina’s post from yesterday, this is a drawing of Lapin on the High Line in New York city. 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 →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 →Times Square in July! Fellow studio 1482ers Despina, Veronica and I went to draw in Times Square on Wednesday. We were lucky.

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 →Paris has always held a very warm spot in my heart. There are days when I truly miss living there, walking the cobblestoned streets along the Seine, passing windows dressed in the finest of pastries, and even the chaotic/melodic sounds of bustling passerby’s always on the move to their next appointment….Ha!…kinda sounds a little […]
