Fall is long gone, but I thought it might be nice to remember the feeling in this watercolor made at the Central Park boathouse. posted by Veronica
View post →I recently went to draw at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. Very beautiful area with rich history, beautiful structures and some of the best people watching. I saw a ridiculously long line for the “Sex and the City” Tour Bus. Very funny. Maybe I’ll post the drawing of that another day. This time, I’ll share […]

A quick drawing I made in my sketchbook, of our ever-changing NYC skyline. This was made from the Central Park Zoo. You can see the giant pencil-thin tower, “One 57” going up at the right. It’s even taller now than it was when I drew this, about two months ago. I hear you’ll be able […]
View post →There has been a lot of talk about doing away with handsome cabs around New York’s Central Park, and while I would be sad to see another NYC icon fade, I do feel for the horses… -Despina

View post →Playing with some watercolor and trying to make some very fluid lines. I love being around the cherry trees; close to them, far away, under them, in them…any way I can be! I wish the blossoms lasted a bit longer, but maybe their short presence makes me really appreciate them when they show up in […]
View post →Spent the day at the museum again. Got lost in a few projects, but found some inspiration as I was on my way out. I picked up a copy of and started reading Camping and Tramping with Roosevelt by John Burroughs. Two people I have always held in high regard.—Dominick
View post →I started this drawing, the parts in ink, at the AMNH in the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda. I put the pad down for a moment and everything changed. I turned the pad around and found birds. Prehistoric birds. A nod to Teddy for reading all about his youthful observation. It must have had an impact because […]
View post →It will soon be April again and the CPDSA and friends will be out in full bloom skating and dancing to all their great DJ’s music! I can’t wait to see everybody in motion again in Central Park! They are a great group of people and athletes! Yay! Margaret Hurst

View post →I recently went to draw at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. Very beautiful area with rich history, beautiful structures and some of the best people watching. This is a drawing I made of a few tourists resting by the fountain. I know it’s easy to get jaded about tourists in Manhattan. The way they walk […]
View post →I do believe it! I do believe it’s true! The Penguins at the Central Park Zoo are mesmerizing! They are so much fun to watch and draw. They never stay still for a moment. They’re either chatting with each other, eating, climbing out of the water, jumping into the water or swimming in the water! […]
