This is a watercolor painting I made about this time of the year in Central Park. The silhouette in the center is the angel of the Bethesda Fountain. Some trees are still green, but many have begun to turn intense and beautiful colors. It’s such a brief time to be happy before everything turns grey […]

View post →Here is another drawing from Amoudi Bay. I’ll be posting the drawings from that day chronologically. This is the second one I did on that beautiful morning.

View post →I’ll see you soon. I’ll miss your warmth, the way you said hello to me when I woke up. The way you whispered goodnight as I went to sleep. I’ll look forward to your sweet scent upon your return. Your Admirer, Eddie Peña

View post →Chania is the second largest city in Crete, and in my opinion the most beautiful, particularly the venetian harbor. On the water there is a venetian lighthouse and a mosque, all evidence of the rich history of this area. This reportage drawing was made behind the buildings facing the harbor where small alleys are lined […]
View post →When I think of New York, Grand Central is one of the first places that comes to mind. It’s New York in a nutshell. This is the portal between life outside and the city. Everything New York that you need you’ll find here, trust me. You have people from all walks of life appear. If […]
View post →The Bubble Man hangs out in different places around the city, so it was great to see him in Central Park. Â I had a little conversation with him and he said he loves doing it because of the expressions on the faces of the children when they finally pop a bubble. Â Ironically, he loves creating […]
View post →The Bay of Amoudi is a small fishing port located in the town of Oia on the island of Santorini. During my trip there, this was one of the only times I was not on top of the mountains, but looking up at them. drawing by Greg Betza

View post →These are the Dirty Urchins! Â They were playing in Central Park on a beautiful afternoon last week at the Bethesda Fountain. Â The sax player is the spokesman and the comedian of the group. Â Very funny material! Â As I’m writing this I’m listening to their CD. Â A couple of the songs I like are, “Don’t Let […]
View post →Here is another drawing from my trip to Greece. We visited the island (or archipelago) of Santorini (Thira) which was unlike any place I had ever seen. Upon pulling into the port you can’t believe what you are looking at. The small whitewashed homes that line the tops of the island look like pieces of […]
View post →I drew these three people enjoying their cold sodas on a hot day.  The one lady saw me drawing her and was checking me out.  Apparently she was intrigued by the idea of  being drawn and occasionally peeped at me to see how it was going!  Nice group!
View post →I’ve just returned from an amazing trip to Greece. My family and I visited Crete, Santorini and Athens and we were fortunate to have ample time to create some art. This painting is of the river Xydas in the village of Kalyves on the island of Crete. The three boats have become somewhat of a […]
View post →A place where respect and quiet is demanded. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is colossal, and when you walk in it only gets bigger. It’s a great place to draw, where you can stay cool and no one bothers you. Eddie Peña

View post →Another drawing from a few years back when I spent the better part of a long summer reportage-ing all around New York. Often I feel overwhelmed at Rockefeller Center, maybe because there is so much to look at, great art, architecture, tons of people, I don’t know, but on this day I was able to […]
