I tried over and over this morning to draw my daughter. She would sit still just long enough to make me believe she’d stay there for at least a minute or two, but as if with eyes in the back of her head, as soon as I laid brush to paper she’d completely change her […]

My neighbor feeds the local duck population so I benefit by always having these feisty creatures nearby. My daughter loves them and I’ve just begun to start exploring them visually. Here’s a study from last week… Greg Betza ©2021

Having to draw the tango for a wine label some years back I came up with this version as well as many fun others. It was a great assignment, lots of room for play. Greg Betza ©2021

Reminded of all that is and all that will be, I cheated time last night once again and looked to the past to fill in the missing weeks. How is a memory different from the actual moment. What comes of going inside the head vs living right in front of you? I’ve been too serious […]

Like these flowers from the Shakespeare Garden in Central Park, NYC is opening up. Feels so good to be out and about again, in the midst of my fellow New Yorkers. To celebrate, I am offering my PUZZLING OUT THE PICTURE location drawing workshop in the city this July 17-18! Will you be in the […]

This is my daughter. I realized recently that I haven’t drawn her in a while. Drawing children is so enjoyable for me, they do crazy things with their bodies and never stop for more than a few seconds. Greg Betza ©2021

Sometimes I can’t help but see the patterns in the trees, like a dance on the horizon. It has been some time since I watched outside a speeding window, catching a moment that may never be again, marking a note to come back to that minute, that second. It may all change in an instant, […]

Looking back more than ahead, the Fall never seemed so far away as it does right now. There is a lightness to Spring colors that is elusive, Autumn colors on the other hand hang heavy. As the colors recede at mid season, the subtle notes of what is to come pop through the fallen petals […]

This sandhill crane was camouflaged in the grass, but unlike the Blue Heron that does something similar, the crane is not looking to feed. Maybe it was just posing for me? Greg Betza ©2021

Two people talking. I think. He looks a little distracted. m hurst

I love watching the sandhill cranes in my yard twist themselves into so many different pretzel-like configurations. The contrast of their snake-like necks and legs so skinny I can’t believe they don’t snap is really exciting to draw. Hope that comes through! Greg Betza ©2021
