View post →As Margaret wrote in her post last week and yesterday, she and I spent a lovely and long overdue day together drawing and enjoying Spring at the Bronx Botanical Garden. We did go through the Emily Dickinson exhibit. Her garden was beautiful, and as Marg wrote last week, I was immediately drawn to the poppies. […]
View post →As I wrote in last week’s blog entry, before Ronnie and I went into the Conservatory at the NYBG to see the Emily Dickinson house, we sat in front of one of the beautiful cherry trees and made some drawings of it. Â I love cherry trees because you can always go “inside” them and enjoy […]
View post →I swear Michele and I didn’t plan to post famous US war ships back to back. Amazing how thing like that happen. So I’m taking a trip south this week and on a trip south a few years ago I spent a day at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and did this close-up drawing of the USS […]

View post →I recently had the opportunity to draw from a terrace on the 47th floor of a downtown New York City building – talk about getting dizzy. But what an exhilarating experience! – Veronica
View post →My friend Ronnie and I made a spontaneous visit to the NYBG on Friday. Â We haven’t gone out drawing together in a long time and so this was a wonderful day in many ways. Â The day was lovely, weather wise, and so even though there was an Emily Dickinson Garden theme at the Conservatory we […]

View post →Well, technically Earth Day was a few days ago (see Greg’s post HERE) but really, every day should be Earth Day, no? Like I wrote in the illustration, give to the Earth and She’ll give back. Let’s hope our governments start heeding that message. – Veronica
View post →This is a drawing I made of a model. Â I liked her attitude! Â I also liked that her hair felt like Asian calligraphy. Margaret
View post →Happy EARTH DAY everyone. I was doing a bit of reading on the subject and I came across the EPA’s “It’s My Environment” promotion. And while I didn’t make a sign and a video, the promotion did get me thinking about my environment and what I can do to care for it. Recently I’ve been […]
View post →I’ve always wanted to be a soldier. It’s been a desire of mine since I was a boy. I can’t say I can pin point why, but I know I would have made a great soldier. I think it takes a special heart to become a soldier. I thank every military man and woman that […]
View post →Spotted this man partying down with his Guinness in a pub in Dublin. Looks happy, right? In general, I’ve found the Irish to be a very happy people, but you’d almost never know it from looking at them! Happy Saturday, all you lovely Irishmen (and women). And everyone else, for that matter – Veronica

View post →Ok maybe you haven’t heard of them, but Leatherface is a British punk band that’s been around since 1988. I’ve been a fan since the early nineties and just had the chance to see them last month at the knitting factory in Brooklyn. Though they are quite obscure, the place was sold out and the […]

View post →Spring means lazy afternoons spent at the Bronx Botanical Gardens. Sit in the sun, paint a little, lie in the grass and sleep a little, wake up and paint some more. All the while the cherry blossom petals swirl around you. Oh yeah, I love spring. – Veronica
View post →A drawing of one of the skater’s feet! CPDSA! Central Park Dance Skaters Association will begin their official skate season tomorrow, April 10th! Â Great day to start!
View post →I prefer watercolour with a ‘U’, I don’t know why. Anyway, here is one of my favorite paintings. The subject is an orchid and it always reminds me of spring. watercolour painting by Greg Betza
