Personally I really liked that the July 4th US holiday fell on a Wednesday this year. Gave us all the chance to have a weekend in the middle of the week! Spent a lovely few hours picnicking along the East River in LIC with Neil and our friends Margaret and Julia. The Macy’s fireworks at […]

There were demonstrations all across the United States this past Saturday against the administration’s immigration policies, and the separation of children from their parents as they try to cross the border. NYC saw a large demonstration crossing the Brooklyn Bridge from lower Manhattan, and a smaller demonstration in my neighborhood of Jackson Heights. The group […]

I love when cities put up the name of their city in big letters at a public square – in case you forget where you are! I made this drawing during a lovely visit to Toronto with Neil and his parents. posted by Veronica

There is one place in NYC that I never go to – except to draw. That’s Times Square. A riot of color and energy, it’s a place most New Yorkers avoid, and every tourist visits. When going through my computer files to look at drawings of Times Square the other day, I came across this […]

June 3, 2018, was the 26th annual Queens Pride parade in Jackson Heights, Queens, NYC. Everyone in the ‘hood was out – and OUT – to celebrate the day. Caught a quick drawing of a few queens of Queens riding along 37th Ave. on the top of a bus, dancing to the merengue music and […]

It’s been a very busy season for me, so I haven’t yet had a chance to post the drawings I made of the most recent University of Kentucky Creative Study Tour that I had the privilege to document in early April. It was another great group that came with Professor Hargrove, and I’m excited to […]

In the middle of the coldest April in the Northeast ever – yes that means EVERY SINGLE DAY is a record low temperature for the month – we had one nice day. AND it was a Saturday! So I took advantage of this to run out to the park to do a little drawing. But…but…but…where […]

Here are a few more subway portraits – NYC is such a great place to practice drawing people. I was considering design and proportion a lot with these. The guy on the right with the curly hair was on to me – he kept looking up at me just as I was looking at him! […]

The Sears Tower in Chicago – now called the Willis Tower – is the second tallest building in the United States. (The new One World Trade building in Manhattan is taller.) When I was in Chicago last year for the Urban Sketchers Symposium, I found it a challenge to include the building and still have […]

A great way to practice drawing is to draw people on the subway in NYC. Especially since I live in what’s considered the most diverse neighborhood in the city, I have a wonderful wealth of types of people to draw whenever I’m riding the train. Old people, young people, skinny, fat, happy, angry, bored – […]

I often am asked the question: “do you REALLY make one drawing every day?” And the answer is yes, most definitely I do! Does that mean that I am sitting down and making a drawing with a capitol D each day? No, what it means is that drawing has become the way that I negotiate […]

A while back, I was commissioned to illustrate a menu for a restaurant called Nino’s 46, in midtown. It was one of those fun, relaxing kind of jobs: sat across the street and made the drawing of the place. I had fun drawing the details of the building and I like the idea of the […]
