More fun drawing at Long Island Aikikai. Adding the color this time made it more challenging for me…posted by Veronica.
View post →Had some free time over the recent holiday weekend and so I decided to do some drawings of something I don’t often draw – cars. Maybe this is stereotypical, but it seems to me that men understand cars better than women do – and of course the thought of that makes me want to understand […]
View post →I had another fun evening recently drawing Neil and his fellow Aikido practitioners at the Long Island Aikiki. It’s fun to try to capture their moves on paper and, I think, a much less strenuous way for me to participate! Posted by Veronica.
View post →Squeezing in those last days of summer at New York’s Central Park, by the Bethesda Fountain. The angel of the fountain looms large in the hearts of New Yorkers! I was able to spend a lovely day at the park with Studio 1482’s Margaret Hurst and Liz Steel, an urban sketcher from Australia. What a […]
View post →When the dog days of August hit my thoughts often go to the Magic Kingdom, where I’ve spent so many HOT yet satisfying August days. This is a study I did of the carousel one year – what a magical place to draw. Posted by Veronica
View post →Whew! Just got back from a month of traveling and finally unpacked my suitcase. Spent some time in Barcelona, then traveled to Paris with the Dalvero Academy and finally wound up my travels by going to Portland as a presenter at the Urban Sketchers Symposium! This drawing was made at the Farmer’s Market in Portland, […]
View post →I made this thumbnail of an 18th century French fashionista in the European furniture galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I love those galleries, especially the gigantic crystal chandeliers. I think I need one of those chandeliers in my studio to inspire me…posted by Veronica.
View post →In honor of Bastille Day, I thought I’d post a drawing I did in Paris. Ah…Paris. – posted by Veronica.
View post →Summertime makes me think of Europe, and the many wonderful drawing trips I’ve taken there. Here are some of the beautiful people shopping in the piazza in Venice. “Bella figura!” It means beautiful figure and it is like a religion for the Italians. Apparently as Billy Crystal said it truly is better to look good […]
View post →I thought today I would like to post a drawing I made of the carousel at DisneyWorld. I have spent many happy hours drawing there. Posted by Veronica.

View post →Some more flowers from the Emily Dickinson garden at the Bronx Botanical Garden. I think they were some type of violets. Who can’t love violets? – Veronica
View post →Saw this T’ai Chi master leading a class in a park in Queens, New York. He was here from China for a few weeks. Queens is the most international city in the United States, so it didn’t surprise me to see him there. Even though he moved very slowly, he moved very quickly as well. […]
View post →As Margaret wrote in her post last week and yesterday, she and I spent a lovely and long overdue day together drawing and enjoying Spring at the Bronx Botanical Garden. We did go through the Emily Dickinson exhibit. Her garden was beautiful, and as Marg wrote last week, I was immediately drawn to the poppies. […]
View post →I recently had the opportunity to draw from a terrace on the 47th floor of a downtown New York City building – talk about getting dizzy. But what an exhilarating experience! – Veronica
View post →Well, technically Earth Day was a few days ago (see Greg’s post HERE) but really, every day should be Earth Day, no? Like I wrote in the illustration, give to the Earth and She’ll give back. Let’s hope our governments start heeding that message. – Veronica
View post →Spotted this man partying down with his Guinness in a pub in Dublin. Looks happy, right? In general, I’ve found the Irish to be a very happy people, but you’d almost never know it from looking at them! Happy Saturday, all you lovely Irishmen (and women). And everyone else, for that matter – Veronica
View post →Spring means lazy afternoons spent at the Bronx Botanical Gardens. Sit in the sun, paint a little, lie in the grass and sleep a little, wake up and paint some more. All the while the cherry blossom petals swirl around you. Oh yeah, I love spring. – Veronica
