Anyone who knows me well knows that I don’t like taking drugs when I get sick. I recently used hot peppers that I had frozen since last summer, along with my other go-to ingredients, to heal my aching sinuses. And once again I was not dissapointed! Hippocrates famously said “Let food be thy medicine, and […]

I just returned from a trip to Hawaii where I attended my first luau. As you can imagine, there were quite a few hula dancers entertaining the festival goers throughout the evening. Here is a drawing I made that night. You can see more artwork from the trip on my blog. Greg Betza ©2016
View post →Who doesn’t adore a perfectly arranged pastry shelf oh so artfully prepared on this magnificent day of love? We took the boys to Martha’s Bakery this morning for a delicious hot chocolate treat in celebration of the day and it was incredible to see how the showcases gleamed from end to end with such fine selections […]
View post →Yesterday I had the RARE luxury of having some time in the morning to myself. I grabbed my bag and headed straight for Panera Bread where I knew I’d find all sorts of interesting people to draw. Above is a page from my sketchbook while sitting peacefully with a simple cup of tea. It’s not often […]
View post →Oliver’s starting to wonder what happens to his work when he goes to sleep at night, lol! It’s the perfect opportunity to tell him I think Jake visits from Neverland while he’s dreaming because he’s such an inspiration. Who know’s? The Easter Bunny might not be too far away 😉 – Michele
View post →Or is it spelled mangoes? Never sure. All I know is, a few years back when I visited St. Thomas with Margaret, her brother’s house had a mango tree behind it. Every morning, we would take our coffee out on to the porch and pull a mango off the tree for breakfast. So heavenly. It’s […]

View post →A quick drawing while out in LA two weeks ago, I spent a happy night having Mexican food with Schwartzy and Pagana. They have been on a self-imposed hiatus but I was told over queso, chorizo, and chips that this was the year of Schwartzy and Pagana. I was honored to be at one of […]
View post →Every year a few days before Christmas since my nephew was 3 years old we’ve been making cookies for Santa. The best part is the time together and often how unpredictable the cookies turn out. So this year in honor of his uncle (a.k.a. my husband, a 5th degree black belt in karate) Jayden found […]

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 →Truth be told, I lost track of the week and didn’t realize that I was up today. I was literally running out the door as I saw my reminder and turned around to see the above watercolor. I posted it quickly and then out the door I went. When I finally had a moment to […]
