While going through some archival files this week I found this study done on location a few years back. Looking at it, it’s so interesting and exciting to see what still belongs to me when I approach a drawing now and what’s been worked thru since then. – Michele
View post →Two weeks ago on a GORGEOUS Sunday afternoon we took the boys to a local park for some fun. If you saw last weeks post I mentioned everyone was hanging out without a care in the world.

View post →Last Sunday while the weather was SPECTACULAR! we took the boys to a local park for some fun. There were plenty of people skirting about enjoying the moment.

View post →So this week I flipped the ante’. I did little man’s portrait and then asked him to tell me how he felt about it with paint. Interestingly he avoided drawing over his face. I’ll gladly take that as a sign of approval. * On a side note, I’m TOTALLY lovin’ the expression in his line work. […]

View post →This flowery object caught my eye because of it’s intense reds and yellows. I call it flowery because I can’t recall if it was flower, a plant or just some leaves. Enjoy your weekend. © Greg Betza 2013

View post → Here in New York City the winter season’s been incredibly mild. Whether good or bad in the big picture, I can bank that no one’s complaining. With spring rounding the corner there’s a certain kind of light that’s always a tip off that winter’s drifting. Inspired by it’s essence, here’s a little vision of spring as the […]
