…to smell the roses. I think I must’ve been inspired by Dominick‘s post and took the time to stop for an hour. I took a walk and found some rose bushes in bloom, and right beside them a park bench to sit down, how perfect. I haven’t had much time to “leisurely” draw lately so […]

In honor of International Women’s Day 2021, I thought I’d post one of the illustrations I’d done years ago for that most famous of fairy tales, Cinderella. Many women don’t like the Cinderella story, feeling like it perpetuates the stereotype of the frailer sex in need of the protection and salvation of a man. To […]

I first posted this in 2018 as I was working on imagery to represent what I was sensing. I saw it happening not only in the press but also on social media and among friends. The list of things we aren’t allowed to discuss is growing. People are being de-platformed, smeared and demonized. I believe […]

This painting is not of a “river view” it is actually a pond or some other small body of water, I’m not sure…but it is located in Riverview, Florida. Hope that wasn’t too confusing. Liquid ink on watercolor paper. Greg Betza ©2021

“1-minutes” are what these short poses are sometimes called. They’re great for capturing body language and design. What I find is that they tend to be honest and instinctual. Less time to think and only time to react. It’s great exercise for the mind and hand. These 2 thumbnails are from a recent zoom drawing […]

The end of 2020; so many have been anticipating this symbolic transition into better times. Me too. I made this drawing at Universal Studios last month. Creating it reminded me of all the many, many people I’ve drawn in real life over the years and how different it was this time. The masks, the uncertainty, […]
