The Beatles said it – “all you need is love.” Here’s a wish for more of that in 2015. Happy New Year everyone. Drawn on location in Philadelphia by Veronica Lawlor.
View post →Since so many people are busy today with food shopping and cooking, in preparation for the holidays, I thought this drawing of a vegetable stand in San Francisco’s Chinatown would be appropriate to post. Enjoy the holidays everyone, and blessings in the New Year. posted by Veronica
View post →Here is another pastel drawing I made while visiting Sedona with fellow 1482-er Margaret Hurst a few years ago. What a gorgeous place – the landscape is so beautiful you almost can’t believe it’s real! There are supposedly areas in Sedona called ‘vortexes’ where you can feel some kind of gravitational pull of the Earth. […]

View post →New Orleans is really a romantic city – the jazz music, the voodoo vibe, the paddle boats, the wrought iron architecture and of course, the horse & carriages that are all over the city. The sound of horse hooves clomping down the cobblestone streets (I forgot that in the list!) really adds to the atmosphere. […]
View post →I think Robin Hood really did live here. Or maybe it was Maid Marion? Could this be where Howard Pyle did his illustrations? Saw this tower at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania last weekend, and I couldn’t help but want to draw it! Having an Adirondack chair, nice weather, and Neil drawing next to me didn’t […]

View post →Every year during the summer time in NYC, the fishermen line up along the East River on New York’s lower east side. They are out here every day, looking for treasure in the rivers around the Big Apple. They do seem to catch something, and they eat it, too! Not sure how I’d feel about […]
View post →I spent Labor Day weekend 2009 in Pennsylvania visiting the Brandywine museum (heavenly!) and the Chaddsford Winery nearby. The winery was hosting a jazz festival wine tasting event. I have to say, I had been there two years earlier and the wines from this local winery have improved quite a bit. The Proprietors Reserve White […]

View post →What else is there to say but beautiful Amsterdam, even in the rain. Posted by Veronica.
View post →Amsterdam is truly a beautiful city, a mix of cobblestone streets and little canals. And the people really love their bicycles! Why not? I think it’s the idyllic lifestyle to ride a bicycle to work and play. Plus, you have flowers everywhere. sigh. posted by Veronica
View post →One of the most memorable moments of my recent voyage on the Charles W. Morgan was when one of the sailors began singing sea shanties on board. It was foggy on the deck, and a most soulful moment. You can read more about the voyage in part 3 of my visual essay here. posted […]
View post →While strolling around Paris last weekend, Neil and I came across this lovely flower shop. So Parisian – a wrought iron cage surrounding beautiful fragrant blooms. And it was somebody’s birthday, so there was a little party going on inside. It reminded me of a Renoir. So lovely. Every time I return from Europe, I’m […]

View post →Michele’s recent post about the Picasso Museum in Paris made me think of my own times spent in that beautiful city. Here is a drawing of I.M.Pei’s famous glass pyramid in the courtyard of the Louvre. People seem to love it or hate it. I love it. Posted by Veronica
View post →A quick drawing I made in my sketchbook, of our ever-changing NYC skyline. This was made from the Central Park Zoo. You can see the giant pencil-thin tower, “One 57” going up at the right. It’s even taller now than it was when I drew this, about two months ago. I hear you’ll be able […]
View post →I love the lazy days of summer. This is a watercolor I did in between napping, on a blanket at Brooklyn Bridge park. Thought it would be fun to use only watercolor to make a little reportage drawing of this couple having a romantic afternoon. posted by Veronica
