Nine years ago this week, standing tall right there in front of me…the Sydney Opera House  with it‘s bold and commanding design was undeniably awe inspiring from the outside and just as magnificent from within (considering the untouchable talent that’s passed through it’s gate). If you haven’t been there, I insist! A MUST SEE on your bucket […]
View post →I passed through Grand Central Terminal yesterday and wondered what the next exhibit was going to be  in Vanderbilt Hall. Then it dawned on me, no exhibit, just the holiday market. Made me think of the tree at the Met, which must be in the process of rising up in the Medieval Sculpture Hall. It […]

There was a band/orchestra that played and performed only Michael Jackson music. This lady and her dog were dancing to the music all day long. This drawing has two […]

Here is a drawing from a concert I attended (during then unscheduled nor’easter) at Town Hall NYC last Saturday. The performer, Jeff Mangum, had not performed for nearly 13 years so it was a room filled with an unusual level of anticipation.

View post →I met this lovely lady on Main Street last January, and she was kind enough to let me draw her portrait while she lectured me on the evils of alcohol (not really, but that is a better story than what actually happened).
View post →Every year during the Fall my memories find their way back to Paris. And very few things evoke in me the feeling of being there than those distinctive claypots on the rooftops. During my 4 month stay many years ago, I lived in the tiniest apartment you could imagine and had one tiny window to […]

View post →You know I once had a teacher who said for each day you don’t study your craft you lose the ability to call yourself “an artist” and fall into the category of “I once was”. The Dalvero Academy is hosting a fall series of life drawing sessions. So it feels really good to say, “Here […]

View post → Another portrait from a golden day at Mystic Seaport this past spring. While that good ol’ salt of the earth kinda guy I shared with you last week tended his dogwatch singing those beautiful shanty tales he was accompanied by a seamstress who (like I) couldn’t get enough of the treasured moment, Michele
View post →This young man’s oddly-shaped bag gave him away as a musician, and he was a joy to draw listening to his ipod, which undoubtedly bestowed some sublime pleasures onto his carefully tuned ears…
View post →Neil and I took our bicycles through the Haitian neighborhood in Providenciales, and I did some drawing. There is a large Haitian community in the Turks & Caicos, because the local population iss not large enough to handle all the work that needs to be done in the hotels on Grace Bay. These guys were […]
