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 →Happy EARTH DAY everyone. I was doing a bit of reading on the subject and I came across the EPA’s “It’s My Environment” promotion. And while I didn’t make a sign and a video, the promotion did get me thinking about my environment and what I can do to care for it. Recently I’ve been […]
View post →This boat is beginning to make me feel like a real world traveler … three days in D.C. last week, now two in Mystic. This weekend I had the incredible privilege of spending the weekend with Ronnie, Marg and the Dalvero Academy on a treasured reportage excursion to Mystic Seaport. What an experience! From the […]

View post →I’ve always wanted to be a soldier. It’s been a desire of mine since I was a boy. I can’t say I can pin point why, but I know I would have made a great soldier. I think it takes a special heart to become a soldier. I thank every military man and woman that […]
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 →I started working on my vegetable garden. This year, it’s much bigger at a whopping 12’x12′! I really hope it works out. Cross your fingers with me!! I bought an owl decoy to keep watch over the garden at night and named him Marty. I think he’s really cute, but hopefully, the skunk and the […]
View post →Ok maybe you haven’t heard of them, but Leatherface is a British punk band that’s been around since 1988. I’ve been a fan since the early nineties and just had the chance to see them last month at the knitting factory in Brooklyn. Though they are quite obscure, the place was sold out and the […]
View post →Bucket List #18 : riding a fire truck in a parade down Constitution Avenue, (behind a giant Garfield balloon nonetheless!) Once I get a chance to unpack my bags I’ll sit and share a little more of the magical weekend I experienced in Washington D.C. this weekend. I’ll give you a hint though: Saturday was […]

View post →this is another drawing from my book “The barber of New York” . It shows George Washington being sworn into office as president of the new United States of America. I love American history (especially New York City history — did you know NYC was the original capital of the new nation?

View post →…was not really itself the other day. I went for a stroll in Central Park on Monday and was looking forward to seeing the power driven model yachts sailing on the Conservatory Water Pond. To my surprise, there were no boats and no water! This is a very special part of the park and I […]
View post →I prefer watercolour with a ‘U’, I don’t know why. Anyway, here is one of my favorite paintings. The subject is an orchid and it always reminds me of spring. watercolour painting by Greg Betza
View post →Ever since I was a little girl my family has had this wonderfully bizarre tradition of spending Easter Sunday at Coney Island in Brooklyn. At first though it’s not the most romantic place to be these days but there’s always been something quite magical about the whole experience. Every year we’d park right in front […]
