I thought it worth mentioning the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is hosting a series of exciting events associated with the United States Air Force this week from August 24th through August 29th.  The mission is to bring together the Air Force and the general public and illustrate the incredible mix of services the people […]

View post →This is a drawing of some ladies listening to traditional Irish love songs. Their love for the music was obvious and as a music lover myself I was touched by that, though I could not help but indulge a little in their odd shapes.

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 →This is one of many  watercolor/caran d’ache/pen and ink drawings I’ve made at the CPDSA circle in Central Park.  I was sitting on the ground getting an ant’s eye view of the skaters, so I decided to make the drawing about the skates and legs of the skaters.  A little pen and ink, a little […]
View post →Drawing information from, drawing inspiration from and, yes, drawing on paper from…the model. I had a great week of drawing, drawing and drawing at the Dalvero Academy. What a swell time! Here’s one of the lovely Lynn by me, Despina

View post →My opinion is just that, an opinion. Whether or not there’s ‘a right’ or some think it ‘wise’ to build a mosque two blocks from where the World Trade Center crumbled – the timing is awful. There are pivotal moments in history that require time and space for those who experience its chaos to process, […]

View post →This is a straight pen-and-ink drawing I made at a folk music festival this past June. I love drawing, and sometimes it is so fun just to draw for no reason except out of love 🙂
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

Â I felt like I was back in grade school watching the St. Thomas Carnival Parade under the arches across from the […]

View post →This has been some week. I recently ordered a new camera (see below) and as I awaited its arrival, my computer died. Funny coincidence, both the new camera and computer were here on Monday evening accompanied by a new moon in the sky. I think it’s time for new beginnings. ©greg betza
View post →It’s hard to believe just 5 days ago Chris and I were each standing at one of the holiest sites in history, the Western Wall in Jerusalem, otherwise known as the “Wailing Wall”. At times tens of thousands of people gather here from all over the world to pray. Although separated by a partition respectfully […]
View post →In a quest for sanity I have decided to rip down everything around me and rebuild. It is a long process and I am not quite sure if I just started the ripping or the rebuilding, but progress is being made. And I am eating my greens. Or Tim’s. But he has too much.

View post →This is one of my favorite drawings I’ve made this year. Its of a lonely New England musician sitting by himself under a tree playing the recorder and dreaming of adventure. I am intrigued by the idea of adventurers dreaming of home, and those at home dreaming of adventure, and have made a number of […]
