View post →Harvesting my garden is really alot of fun. The whole family gets involved and then we sit down for dinner. Lovely. Here is study for a painting of a bowl of freshly picked veggies. String beans, tomatoes of all shapes and sizes, cucumbers, squash, and purple pepper on top.
View post →I spent some time at Ground Zero Friday. It’s an incredibly powerful place, I imagine unlike any other. The site has been transformed into a city of cranes and construction. I can’t help but think that this is exactly how it must have looked in the 1970s during the building of the Twin Towers. While […]
View post →The day is July 10th. It’s 1977, and I just got these new hot wheels! It’s a bright pink banana bike and I think I’m the coolest thing around … I play the best Pinky Tuscadero! So it only makes sense I get to be her when we pick our roles in make believe. With […]

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.

View post →I loved this room in the Victorian main building for its old school James-Bond-ski-lodge appeal.”Romantic guitar” the first evening didnt have a ton of takers, but “game night” and “bingo” ensured excitement by offering really fancy goodies to winners. In the winter with a crackling fire this must be pure nostalgia, a plaid woolen heaven…
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 →This is a drawing/watercolor I made when I took a trip out to Joshua Tree National Park in California, one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen.
