More Juniper trees from Colorado. Pen & Ink. ~Despina
View post →So I’ve been spending some time out west and while in Colorado I attempted to “paint”, with crayons, Pike’s Peak. It was really a great day spent with my son drawing until the sun began melting our crayons right on the top of the rocks we were drawing from. That was fine, it happens. But what […]
View post →While still packed with intermittent cold spells, the past week has finally seen a few days that look, smell, and taste like Spring. Today was the best yet, perfect for a little sketch in the park.—Dominick
View post →Scenes from along the Hudson River. The start of a new year. Catching up with some patience and grace. Not taking it all so seriously. Seriously taking it all in. Already looking back to a good beginning. —Dominick
View post →The beautiful Viñales Valley in Cuba. This watercolor is also a lovely memory of sitting in the early morning quiet, drinking my coffee, painting this gorgeous view. Sometimes life hands you something wonderful, and I am filled with gratitude when it does. Happy birthday Neil! 🙂

This time he was learning about the Navajo people and made art using powder pigment and mountain stencils that depicts the landscapes of the southwest. I tried to weave the landscapes together as I was inspired by the Navajo weavings. The mythology and culture […]

View post →As we found ourselves nearing rush hour traffic at the end of our 3,000 mile journey (added mileage in New Jersey thanks to my reliance on Google Maps) the sun was setting and the light was disappearing on the hills that I am always in awe of. 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 […]
