I know this is momentary, no matter how long the moment might be lasting. I can’t say that I haven’t adjusted to being so close to home every day, day in and day out, but as the moments have come to do what I so love to do, I jump right in with both feet. […]

Another socially distant drawing from two weeks ago. Cafe’s and crowds itching to gather a little closer have passed the time, but there is a whole population I have been itching to draw. As we establish proper boundaries and protocol it was nice to be able to go onsite and draw.—Dominick

Socially distanced I drew last week as another chapter came to a close. I won’t say the story is over, he has a little bit more to pass on. Press, pressman, and inspector will move on to another adventure. Hopefully I can get access again once the new digs are set up. I have to […]

The number of bird calls I have discovered echoing through my neighborhood grows by the day. I also have noticed, just like watching a pot boil, that one should NOT watch grass grow.

I don’t typically do resolutions, but there are few things that fell off the board this year that I would like to make sure I stick to. As I look ahead I wish you all a Happy New Year and hope that our paths cross in the best of ways.—Dominick

Happy Halloween! I’m not much of a Halloween person, or artist, so I thought I’d at least post a fun colorful drawing today. Have fun, be safe, don’t eat too much candy! Greg Betza ©2019

Nothing says Spring in the Northeast of the US like the scent of lilacs, and so I was super happy to spend this past Saturday at the New York Botanical Garden, sitting in the lilac plants doing pastel drawings. I was an invited artist to the NYBG’s 4th Annual Plain-Air Invitational, hosted by artist James […]

Started out the New Year in the best possible way. Spent the better part of the last week with the Dalvero gang drawing all day long. This is what makes for a happy and healthy New Year. —Dominick

It never changes that every year, the weeks leading up to the holiday season become progressively busier and busier. The end of the semester, clients finalizing their projects for the year, time spent thinking about and planning for goals and projects for the year to come. In the middle of all this hustle and bustle, […]
