View post →I did a little experimenting when I was illustrating a book cover. I bought a fern and used a stem of it to create a watercolor version of it. Â I brushed the one side of the leaf with red watercolor and pressed it on the watercolor paper, twice. The fuller version was the first “lay […]
View post →This is a series of watercolor and gold pen pattern designs that I created. I had been looking at a lot of Japanese fabrics and prints and they inspired me to paint, draw and design these “patterns of nature.” They were just an inspirational experiment in abstraction, pattern and design and I ended up really […]
View post →I was looking through some of my drawing /art notebooks and found some of my Patterned Fantasy Landscapes. I started out thinking about a vineyard and continued to fantasize about other objects that might appear in this vineyard patterned landscape. Different types of bodies, sea creatures, land animals and checkered landscapes came to mind. Margaret […]
View post →A rose is a beautiful thing to look at whenever you can!  This particular rose was drawn and water colored at the Bronx Botanical Gardens in New York. It was great  because so many beautiful roses and other flowers were in bloom that day that it was hard to pick out a particular flower.  I […]

View post →New York is a great city. I was afraid of it when I saw it for the first time many, many years ago: it was soooo tall! I grew to love it over the years I’ve been living here. I have always maintained that New York City is it’s own country. What don’t we have? […]
View post →Terrible storm we had a few days ago. Hurricane Sandy…wow. Not much to say except that I wish all affected a speedy recovery. Here is a tree across the street from my home. It ripped up the lawn in this perfect triangle. Unbelievable. ©2012 Greg Betza

View post →Colin MacFadyen told me about a great article in the New York Times this week, I think it was Wednesday”s edition, about a lady in California who raises snails. She knows all about them! She knows how they eat, crawl, make love and reproduce! It is a great article, definitely worth reading! It made me […]

View post →Another watercolor/drawing of Titania from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream. Â Apparently the play has been on my mind quite a bit these last few weeks! Perhaps is because the summer days have been ending and the fall days beginning. I do love fall, but there is something about the warm, full summer days that I […]

View post →One of many thumbnails drawn for Shakespeare’s, Midsummer’s Night Dream, of Titania. I believe this particular work of Shakespeare is my favorite. I love the characters, the story , the fantasy and all the possibilities that lay inside this beautiful work of literature/art. How many dreams have I had that feel as real as this play? […]
