Tis the season for taking on too much in one day and feeling burnt out when it doesn’t go your way. But even when you are late, and well past due, time can find a way to stop and you can produce a thing or two.—Dominick

I looked out my window this morning and saw this tree to my left and this tree to my right. Amazing what you see when something is on your mind. Greg Betza ©2016

Doesn’t have the same ring, I know, but a little practice can’t hurt. My apologies (is this one of those moments where I should really say sorrynotsorry?) to those who do not look forward to the snow.—Dominick

“Celebrating” my least favorite time of year with this drawing. The beginning of many months of cold weather. Sure it’s beautiful, but that is only to lessen the pain 🙂 Counting the days until spring already… Greg Betza ©2016

This past week my children completed their fall program in the edible garden at the NYBG. As we took our last tram ride back to our car I noticed the colors of autumn have finally arrived in the city. Above is a drawing done at the garden of a Japanese Bonsai (one of my favorite things […]

I saw the shadows falling on this tree in the front of my house, and since I already had some watercolors out, I did a quick painting. Greg Betza ©2016

View post →Took advantage of the weather yesterday and drove up to a gorgeous apple orchard north of the city. How utterly beautiful it was to see rows and rows of apple trees ready for the picking’. From macintosh, to red delicious, yellow delicious, granny smith, gala, and plenty plenty more…there was no shortage for a particular […]
View post →Ok, so we have a few weeks left. And this week hasn’t been so bad. I was told this morning that the already cold (and snowy) New York landscape that we are in for this year is to be followed by the most brutal heat wave of a summer. Just when I let my eco-conscious […]
View post →Last night in the city it rained and a cold rain it was. Some places even had snowflakes in their midst. Winter is here. There was something quite serene though when I stopped to listen. Above is a drawing I did in the Japanese pavilion at Epcot during a warm summer rain. Warm or cold, I’ll take it any […]
View post →I have these moments every fall—when the sky turns a certain shade of grey as the inherent nature of the book ended seasons mix and daylight recedes in expectation of the coming months—where I find myself looking at the remnants of a great autumnal landscape, thinking the best has passed and the graphic beauty of […]

View post →I don’t think I have posted this one yet. I was never really happy with the scale and design. A little harbor on the Hudson I pass often. Yet it always seems to turn up when I am looking through watercolors. Each time it grows on me a little more. For some reason I remember […]
View post →I’m out in San Diego and will be heading to the San Diego zoo this week so I thought I’d post a drawing made at a zoo (the bronx zoo) of zebras in fall. ©Greg Betza 2014
View post →Winter is just days away now, much to the dismay of many here in the North East. I however revel in it. I always have. The first snow, the bitter cold winds. Yes, I may very well be insane, but there is something just invigorating to me about a cold winter day. Still autumn, but […]
View post →One last tree still pretending that autumn is not coming to a close. In all fairness it has been mild compared to last week and the fog did obscure the other trees. Maybe someone should tell the leaves to go.—Dominick FREE BOOK GIVEAWAY! In our new Facebook group, One Watercolor A Day, (view it HERE) […]
