However you may be celebrating the holiday in these uncertain times, Thanksgiving is a chance to reflect for a moment on those things in life that we are most grateful for. I made this drawing of a sweet little family picnic a few weeks ago in Long Island City. I loved how involved they were […]
View post →This quick little graphite drawing was made in December 2019, while riding on the 7 train in NYC. It’s a drawing of my husband Neil and my step-daughters Ashley and Danielle, visiting us from Florida, sitting together on the subway bench across from me. Neil is showing Danielle, who is majoring in Civil Engineering, something […]
View post →I don’t typically do resolutions, but there are few things that fell off the board this year that I would like to make sure I stick to. As I look ahead I wish you all a Happy New Year and hope that our paths cross in the best of ways.—Dominick
View post →Breakfast is looking a bit different lately. My son has hit a growth spurt and it’s blowing my mind on a daily basis. His limbs are long and the time I have left to snuggle with my little boy is short! ~Despina
View post →I am so not one for summer time fun. It’s just so HOT. And the beach is not the place I like to be by choice, but summa-times I find myself stuck in the sand and trying not to bake in the sun. I avoided the water for as long as I could and quickly […]
View post →One of the joys of my life is that I am a step-mother to three wonderful young women, and a step-grandma to one little girl named Amelia, who turned five this week. We took her to Disneyworld to become ‘princessified’ at the Bibbity-Bobbity-Boutique for her 5th birthday. Here is the before and after: at left, […]
View post →If you follow this blog you may remember back when I made a few drawings of orchids last Spring. Those orchids stayed in full bloom until early July! They were stunning and I was sad to see them go. After the last of the blooms fell, I put the plant in and out-of-the-way corner of […]

View post →Each weekend Studio 1482 will be featuring posts from the One Drawing A Day archives. Today’s post is by Michele Bedigian, from back in 2016. It’s titled “Mother’s Day with Grandma.” #ODADarchive I thought it only fitting since Mother’s day is around the corner to post a maternal moment in my sketchbook … Happy Mother’s Day […]
View post →After two weekend’s in a row of rain we finally got to take the boys apple picking. It was pretty late in the season but the experience in itself left us with treasured memories of fun and laughter. – Michele Bedigian (art done in crayon on hot press paper)

View post →The moment always seems to arrive sooner than expected. But that is life. I’ve actually planned for this post for some time. I wasn’t expecting the snow, for which I am always thankful for, so the color and the subject might be out of place for those in southern New York or on the East […]
View post →Did you ever feel a tiny raindrop trickle down from the sky and land upon your cheek when there is no rain in sight, and wonder where it came from when the day is sunny and bright? Did you ever hear someone clearly call out your name, and when you turned to look there’s […]
View post →Dear Charlie, … Was it just 365 days ago when we met? I never imagined how much you would change my life. From the way I spend my days to the way I dream at night. The joy in your laughter is infectious and the wisdom in your eyes, understood. You are truly a gift […]

View post →Last week I received an email from my cousin that included an article proposing the idea that we all put a little more thought and a little less money into our season of giving. Of course, when I need it, the email is nestled away on another computer, but as I scrambled yet again to […]
