Truth be told I am posting this and last weeks drawings late. Why? Because I started the drawings and wasn’t happy with them until this afternoon. Tomorrow based on the time stamp above. Until 2 minutes ago I had not seen that Ronnie posted another beautiful cherry blossom yesterday. Spring seems to be on everyones […]

…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 […]

There is a long running joke in my house, stolen from some YouTube channel I never knew the name of, that requires a bad faux British accent. When I found this drawing, I thought of that and an old story of a young girl in an English pub. Is that your beer love?—Dominick

It was either that or “I Wear My Sunglasses at Night” which I figured was too long of a post title. The day rolled by rather quickly, as the past few weeks have. I’ve been looking through some recent drawings, trying to figure out where they fit in the arsenal. Not quite sure just yet […]

Having so much time these days I’m sure you find yourselves looking into the past. Whether through your memories or through digital files, and sometimes we stumble upon something we had forgotten. Such is what happened with this drawing from 2014. Greg Betza ©2020

My parents have beautiful peonies growing in their front yard. I had to try and capture it. Not so easy, they are so delicate and light! Greg Betza ©2020

It’s funny the number of times in a given week you can jokingly say, “let me check my calendar” knowing there is barely anything on said calendar and yet somehow the weeks fly by in our current state of life with little room for relaxation. Every move requires plan. So before the next storm takes […]

I’ve been drawing a lot during virtual figure drawing sessions lately. It’s been a way to keep busy or “sharp” during the quarantine. It’s been great, but honestly, nothing beats drawing from “real” life. Here is a drawing made from a non-quarantine drawing session (amazing that that is now a distinction) a few years ago. […]

Stay Home is an illustration I created to bring attention to this difficult order disguised as a simple request. It is important and it is our path to the end of this tragedy. This illustration is also a way to express the gratitude we all have for the people on the front lines fighting. No […]
