View post →Even as the warmer Spring air hid behind giant white clouds, the colors seemed to dance as I wondered out the window, jealous of the wind that wandered through the trees, drawing out what is only right and proper this time of year. Color everywhere.—Dominick
View post →In the midst of the sun drenched background, as the proper season was finally taking over, the setting was highlighted with the most welcome sign of new life, buds on every tree short or tall. A short lived sweet spot between the silhouette of the forgotten winter and the coming lush green shade.—Dominick
View post →Last night in the city it rained and a cold rain it was. Some places even had snowflakes in their midst. Winter is here. There was something quite serene though when I stopped  to listen.  Above is a drawing I did in the Japanese pavilion at Epcot during a warm summer rain. Warm or cold, I’ll take it any […]
View post →Last week I posted a watercolor from a year or so ago and it got me started on the series again. Laid up in bed (or rather in a chair) for a few days I gathered my brushes and spent a few hours out of doors. I am not a green person but I kind […]

View post →Or is it spelled mangoes? Never sure. All I know is, a few years back when I visited St. Thomas with Margaret, her brother’s house had a mango tree behind it. Every morning, we would take our coffee out on to the porch and pull a mango off the tree for breakfast. So heavenly. It’s […]

View post →This flowery object caught my eye because of it’s intense reds and yellows. I call it flowery because I can’t recall if it was flower, a plant or just some leaves. Enjoy your weekend. © Greg Betza 2013
View post →Winter is just days away now, much to the dismay of many here in the North East. I however revel in it. I always have. The first snow, the bitter cold winds. Yes, I may very well be insane, but there is something just invigorating to me about a cold winter day. Still autumn, but […]
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 →Found this thumbnail, and I really don’t know when I did it or where (or why!). Believe it or not, I usually have a fairly clear memory of creating all of my work, and that’s what makes this painting so intriguing (to me). Greg Betza © 2013

View post →Autumn winds gently in, washing away Summer’s sin… Autumn winds blow free, chasing colored leaves from every tree… Autumn winds chill, frosting through every valley and hill… Autumn winds passed, waiting for Winter’s snowy blast.  – Poetry by George Aul –  Artwork / watercolor by Michele Bedigian (reportage inspired by the Hudson Valley School done on locaion at the […]
View post →Last week I posted a small drawing inspired by Chagall I drew in my garden . Thought it’d be fun to share another one. If you look closely you’ll see I used watercolors, colored pencil, and a digital pencil. I invite you to try it, it’s one of those things you can just feel your […]
View post →After 2 years of neglect I found myself back in my garden last week. I forgot how wonderful it feels to connect with the earth and experience the joy nature offers. What a peaceful, silent heartwarming moment in time. Drawing done by Michele Bedigian in watercolor and crayon.
