View post →On one of my many trips to Disney World to draw/reportage, I was sitting in Liberty Square at The Magic Kingdom.

View post →Here is another pastel drawing I made while visiting Sedona with fellow 1482-er Margaret Hurst a few years ago. What a gorgeous place – the landscape is so beautiful you almost can’t believe it’s real!

View post →I always think of this drawing of mine when the holiday shopping frenzy rears its ugly head every year. I drew this at Rockefeller Center a few Decembers ago. Oh, what I would give to take a nap like the kid in this drawing whenever I feel too tired to carry on with the lists […]

View post →One day at China in Epcot there were dancers.  They moved in and out of the buildings and columns of the Chinese Pavilion so  gracefully.  They were irresistible. They had to be drawn and painted.  Lucky me, I got to do just that! Margaret Hurst
