Saw this hat at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Some things are just begging to be drawn! – Â Veronica

Poppies in the fields. Another drawing for CFNAPA. Loved making this pen and ink drawing! Margaret Hurst
View post →Yes, it is Saturday and I am posting for last Thursday (internet magic), yes she looks like she is smelling his underarm (she wasn’t, she was completely entranced by him), and yes time always seems to play games with us (it isn’t personal, at least I don’t believe it to be), but all there needs […]
View post →A black and white pen and ink drawing of a field of poppies for CF NAPA. Truly a pleasure to draw! Margaret Hurst
View post →Well, actually it was also a green and red day too, but it started out blue. I rarely wake before the sun. When I did long ago I fell right back to sleep the second we pulled out of the driveway. I was 15 minutes late on this blue morning (technically 13 I was told), half […]

View post →Tuesday, August 12, is World Elephant Day! I love elephants. I want them to be around forever, so I hope the world saves them and doesn’t need their teeth for some ornament or piece of jewelry. Let’s protect them and give them a voice. WORLD ELEPHANT DAY AUGUST 12, 2014 Margaret Hurst
View post →I remember seeing the Morgan, even if I didn’t remember her name, when I was a kid. In fact, I have rather strong memories of the Charles W. Morgan and an old souvenir (does anyone use that word anymore—it does seem perfect for a wooden ship though) from a childhood visit. I even realized recently […]
View post →On a recent trip to Boston with Dalvero Academy we spent the afternoon in Copley Square. The square is beautiful, historical and modern. Under a small leafy green tree across the street from the Boston Public Library is the finish line for the Boston Marathon where a small wooden memorial is representing the four people […]
View post →I said last week that drawing has been on my mind lately. I can’t begin to say how much so. It should be on my mind this much everyday. One Drawing a Day and you have 365 at the end of the year. Pretty good numbers. But none the less, the act of drawing, the […]
View post →Top mast on the Charles W. Morgan at Mystic Seaport. The top mast was put in place on November 11, 2013, just a few months ago. That’s hard for me to believe because she’s now under sail going from port to port in New England. Provincetown is her current stop. Dalvero was there! And we […]
View post →I saw this woman get on the train yesterday and immediately she moved around in such a way that I had to draw her. I think she knew. —Dominick
View post →Another drawing of the Charles W. Morgan as part of her 38th Voyage. This drawing was drawn while the Morgan was docked at the New London pier. It’s such a reward to watch the hands on process of everything that has been done for the restoration and sailing of the Charles W. Morgan. Margaret Hurst

View post →To say that I have had drawing on the brain all day is an understatement. To say I realized it was Thursday only a few minutes ago is also an understatement. —Dominick
View post →I decided that since I’ve had to stay close to home lately that I’d make some art about my home. Here is an ink and watercolor drawing/painting of my son’s “climbing dome” which sits in the middle of our yard. © Greg Betza 2014
View post →Sitting on the pier in New London a few weeks ago drawing the Charles W Morgan head on. Â A truly magnificent ship she is! Margaret Hurst
View post →Another drawing from the sail setting weekend at New London on the Charles W. Morgan. For this drawing I was standing on the dock but very close to where they were added the sails on the jibs. It was a strange and incredible point of view. This particular drawing is of the first sail attached. […]
