Here is another ink drawing of some plants and flowery-things hanging over a pond. I posted a few others in this series here and here. Happy Monday. Greg Betza ©2015
View post →Took a trip to Scranton with Julia Sverchuk and Veronica Lawlor because Veronica, Ronnie, was conducting a drawing workshop for Synaesthesia Social hosted by Ted Michalowski. These musicians were incredible, and incredibly in tuned with each other! Jamie Orfanella played the didgeridoo. I have included the other musicians in the drawing with their hands: Tyler […]

Last week I posted about snow on the first day of spring. It seems as if Old Man Winter is having a difficult time letting go of the spotlight from the flurries we saw again yesterday here in the city. Above is a watercolor reportage I did at the NYBG a few years back this very week talking […]

View post →So, Dalvero went up to Mystic Seaport a few weeks ago and began reportaging the Mayflower II! So googled the mayflower flower and there were some very interesting definitions and symbols of the flower. One symbolic meaning is that of purification. Purification: the true essence cleanses the heart of negativity and stimulates love and forgiveness. […]

View post →This is a detail from an enormous drawing I did last summer, (4′ x 6′ to be exact).  Sometimes when you’re in the middle of a drawing you don’t see the subtlety in moments (or frames) within the “big picture”. It can take time to actually READ YOUR DRAWING and genuinely SEE WHAT IT’S DELIVERED. This […]
View post →This is a drawing of some of the people who work in the Chinese Pavilion at Epcot Center at Disney World. They were standing in various places around the pavilion so I went around to draw each them and designed them on the same page. The Chinese Pavilion is an amazing place to draw people […]
View post →While on a recent trip to Crete I went to see the tree that is said to be between 3,000 and 5,000 years old. It is scientifically impossible to accurately date olive trees because they lose their “heartwood” and do not have rings to count. But many scientists agree that the tree in Vouves, Crete […]

View post →Every once in a while I like to challenge myself with a new approach on a drawing and propose a graphic that would push the envelop in one direction or another. INEVITABLYÂ I ALWAYS learn something from the exercise. This was a reportage drawing where I attempted to complete the “big picture” by simply using […]
