From a morning spent sitting near the water in Hoboken, NJ. Greg Betza
View post →I made this drawing in Chania, Crete in the summer of 2009. According to my note, it is called the ‘Back Door Cafe‘, a rather pedestrian name for a place in such an amazing city. Greg Betza ©2014

View post →Here is a drawing I made of the Fort Duquesne Bridge while sitting on the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh has a reputation (because of the steel industry) as being very industrial and gritty, and while it is, it is also incredibly beautiful…especially if you like bridges.

Weird grey fog rolling across the Hudson with pops of emerging greens and pink colors. A few of the thumbnails from […]

View post →A day or so in, 2014 so far has gotten off to a slow start. Not being one for resolutions I haven’t properly planned. Like Janus I revel in the turning of time. However, looking forward I long for a slightly different view. It is changing rapidly, but in first view the old hang around […]
View post →Obviously my past few posts have been leading up to a month of watercolors. For the fun of it I am going to try and do one watercolor a day and post them on my personal blog. I’ll post them before next Thursday when I am up again. And after a little hiatus we have […]
View post →OK, no where near Toledo, I don’t think, (sorry Toledo, my geography stinks if I haven’t actually visited) but rather Pennsylvania and it wasn’t actually over, it was while driving through. I hadn’t been on a road trip in a long time. I forgot how long PA was, and how beautiful the landscape was (Brandywine […]
