View post →On my recent trip to Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, I met many wonderful people. Some were from the Urban Sketchers community; others lived in the city. Papito, above, was one of the nicest. I was drawing in his botanica in the Mercado, and he brought me a seat. So sweet! Once I finished […]

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 →Another drawing from Parque Colon, Santo Domingo. This of a Dominican woman and her daughter. The people in Santo Domingo were definitely the best part of the city, which says a lot because the Colonial Zone felt architecturally like Seville, one of my favorite cities! Please visit my blog for more drawings of the people […]

View post →This is a drawing of a slipped hitch knot that was used on whaleboats. The knot is called the slipped hitch, because it came apart fairly easily. Once the whale was spotted, those boats had to move out quickly! This is one of a series of drawings of knots I did in preparation for our […]
