Another drawing of the Charles W. Morgan as part of her 38th Voyage. This drawing was drawn while the Morgan was docked at the New London pier. It’s such a reward to watch the hands on process of everything that has been done for the restoration and sailing of the Charles W. Morgan. Margaret Hurst
View post →A little embarrassed to admit that I’m late to post today because I was very busy watching Djokovic vs. Federer battle it out in the Wimbledon Championship match. At least I got a little drawing out of it right? I was watching the shadows of the players when I made this drawing. Congrats Novak!! It […]

View post →I decided that since I’ve had to stay close to home lately that I’d make some art about my home. Here is an ink and watercolor drawing/painting of my son’s “climbing dome” which sits in the middle of our yard. © Greg Betza 2014
View post →China has always fascinated me. This is a detail from a really REALLY large drawing I did on location in Epcot’s China Pavilion. Check in next week to see the whole drawing. Did you know … 30% of Chinese adults still live with their parents. Approximately 200 million people in China live on less than $1 a […]
View post →Another drawing from the Morgan‘s test run two weeks ago. Having seen her without her rigging for a few years as she was being restored, the art and the science of the sails and rigging was that much more profound. Hard to imagine how someone came up with the set up. She is bound for […]

View post →A few years back on this very beautiful last day of spring I found myself looking at the masterful mid-century artist Robert Rauschenberg ALOT. I’m always in awe of how he created such fusion between type and image. I find it incredible and exciting …and yes (for many who know me), he’s genuinely left an indelible impression on all my work. Above is a poster […]
View post →I had the honor of traveling alongside the Charles W. Morgan last week as she made a test run with full rigging and sails. What a difference to when she was on dry dock being restored. She certainly looked at home even if she was just off shore. Looking forward to the next leg of […]

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 →Another drawing from the sail setting weekend at New London on the Charles W. Morgan. For this drawing I was standing on the dock but very close to where they were added the sails on the jibs. It was a strange and incredible point of view. This particular drawing is of the first sail attached. […]

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. Here is another observation I found subtly interesting. An easy Sunday moment we’ve all seen but have maybe overlooked. No […]
