View post →Greg’s post this week on the Tour Du France reminded me of that trip abroad together. This was a drawing I had done entering the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles.

View post →A few years back on this very beautiful last day of spring I found myself looking at the masterful mid-century artist Robert Rauschenberg ALOT. I’m always in awe of how he created such fusion between type and image. I find it incredible and exciting …and yes (for many who know me), he’s genuinely left an indelible impression on all my work. Above is a poster […]

View post →Two weeks ago on a GORGEOUS Sunday afternoon we took the boys to a local park for some fun. If you saw last weeks post I mentioned everyone was hanging out without a care in the world.

View post →Playing with some watercolor and trying to make some very fluid lines. I love being around the cherry trees; close to them, far away, under them, in them…any way I can be! I wish the blossoms lasted a bit longer, but maybe their short presence makes me really appreciate them when they show up in […]

View post →I find that I have learned more about design and drawing from the practice of drawing from a live model. Here is a drawing where I thought about just how much really needs to be drawn to communicate what it is and how it feels. Greg Betza ©2014
