No doubt this calendar year’s end looks different from those past. There area few traditions this season that I am going to miss for sure. One of which is my annual trek to see the Christmas Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I spent a day drawing at Universal Studios recently. Performing that day were these great stilt walkers decked out in holiday costumes. A giant candy-cane and wooden soldier. Fun! …and great to be out drawing in that environment again. Greg Betza ©2020

I know this is momentary, no matter how long the moment might be lasting. I can’t say that I haven’t adjusted to being so close to home every day, day in and day out, but as the moments have come to do what I so love to do, I jump right in with both feet. […]
