Longing for Summer! Drawing by Despina
View post →Animal Kingdom is a beautiful place. I sometimes find it hard to look away long enough to make a drawing. This drawing is of some ruins that are laying amongst the bushes and trees in the Asia section of the park. It’s been made into a shrine by the “locals” and really, it’s stunning. As […]

View post →I made this thumbnail in Paris. I could never decide if it’s the road ahead, or if it’s a view of looking back on the road just traveled. I’ve decided finally, that it’s yesterday. Ahead is the new year, and I got me a pair of new hiking shoes 😉 A very Happy and Healthy […]

View post →I’ve been redefining fall for myself this year– really thinking about it in new ways. Funny, because all I had to do was sit and draw a few of its leaves. For more Fall themed art, and for more drawings of leaves, visit my blog. -Despina
View post →Recently, I helped my two year son paint a toy model boat. We used one brush for all the colors, so before dipping into a new color I would help him pat the brush dry on the paper I had laid out to protect the table. We both liked all the markings and started to […]

View post →So I’m revisiting the drawings I made last August during the week-long drawing workshop at the Dalvero Academy. Besides having a great time, I delved a little into a world that I’ve always loved but seldom experiment with–Fashion. Here is one of a few drawings I’ll be sharing with you from my experiment in fashion. […]
View post →…is a rock band. I went to two concerts in Central Park last week. The first was a washout! It rained and we all got soaked. And there was some serious lightning. But we had fun and the band played on. So, I went back on Friday to enjoy the show–sans shower. Here is one […]
