Being from the East coast, I have noticed […]
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 →I never really got the whole idea of leaf peepers, but then again I have always lived in a pretty magical spot. The Hudson Valley is beautiful this time of year and continues into early December with some random vibrant spots. Maybe not worthy of a weekend trip, but certainly worth watching for as you […]
View post →As Margaret wrote in her post yesterday, she and I were interviewed on NBC news while drawing the inflation of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade balloons in NYC. (You can read more about it on my blog.) This is a drawing from a Thanksgiving trip she and I took to Sedona several years back. Thanksgiving […]
