Spent some time in the Japanese garden at Golden Gate Park. I thought it would be fun to slow down and draw this maple tree. I enjoyed drawing all the leaves, and adding a little bit of color. What a beautiful garden, a must see if you’re visiting San Francisco. I drew this on Canson […]

On the second day of the workshop, we took the students to Gas Works Park on the shore of Lake Hood. Wow! What a place! In the […]

View post →A sculpture by Mark di Suvero at the Storm King Art Center. I love di Suvero’s work – such lyrical forms out of steel. They’re amazing pieces, worth the trip if you can get to see them in person. Veronica Lawlor I am happy to announce that I am a nominee for the Prix Canson […]

View post →When I was making the illustration for the Studio 1482 Japanese fundraiser, I did this piece as well as the one I ultimately submitted to the fundraising campaign. I like the energy of it, but in the end thought that the more peaceful version would show the strength that comes from hope. Posted by Veronica […]
View post →I drew this in the Ryoan-ji Zen garden in Kyoto, Japan. What a beautiful, peaceful place. I was struck by the way the Japanese people sat in front of this garden and simply watched. The sensitivity of that is something I will never get over. With great sensitivity comes great strength, and I thought I would […]
View post →Pure white cranes are sacred birds in the Japanese culture. They are intermediaries between heaven and earth, symbolizing happiness. I thought of a great white crane as a prayer from the Japanese people to the world, and a symbol of a brighter future in the midst of despair and uncertainty. I drew it as a […]

Your gift to the American Red Cross will support our disaster relief efforts to help those affected by the earthquake […]
View post →Been going through my flat files lately, and came across a series of drawings I did when Harry Connick, Jr. performed outside of Bloomingdale’s for the Christmas crowd. This was fun to draw, and one of many reasons why I like living in New York City. – posted by Veronica.
View post →Above is a wood engraving I made of the South Street Seaport, years ago. I love the Seaport – it’s such a unique spot in New York City, and so directly tied to the city’s history. On a sunny day, there’s nothing better than going down to the Seaport to make some drawings of the […]
