This painting is not of a “river view” it is actually a pond or some other small body of water, I’m not sure…but it is located in Riverview, Florida. Hope that wasn’t too confusing. Liquid ink on watercolor paper. Greg Betza ©2021

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was having a party and I was able to take the opportunity to make some drawings for an illustration job for Henri’s Reserve Champagne I was working on of people enjoying champagne at a party. How ironic and wonderful that I was there when this party was happening at The […]

… my true love said to me, did you know that you just posted the fifth day of Christmas. Maybe it is my upbringing and the lack of the sort of thing in my life as a child, but I am not one for resolutions come the New Year. While I am friendly with Janus and […]

Here is a drawing I made during a recent trip to Universal Studios in Florida. They had these great giant hats on all of the lamp posts. Strange but fitting for Christmas time. Have a wonderful holiday everyone! Greg Betza ©2020

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.
