A quick drawing of three of the stilt walkers from the Animal Kingdom Parade. Reminds me of the Mocko Jumbies at home in the St. Thomas Carnival parades. Margaret Hurst

View post →I made this drawing about a year ago down at the World Trade Center. Families performed a brief ceremony at the World Trade Center by tying yellow ribbons on the Callery Pear tree that had survived the devastation of the 9/11 tragedy twelve years ago. It was a memorable and moving ceremony. It was wonderful […]

View post →This is a drawing I made down by the cobblestone streets of the South Street Seaport. Some people were outside enjoying dinner and drinks. One of the many nice activities we can do in the summer. I’m missing it already… Greg Betza ©2013
View post →The Tea Cup ride at Disney World is one of my favorites to watch. People aren’t always sure what’s going to happen to them on the ride. So its a lot of fun to watch peoples’ reactions to the intense swirling! I can’t walk straight when I get off the ride! Fun! Margaret Hurst

While at the Japanese Pavilion at Epcot I was looking into the coy pond and noticed this one little plant growing out of a huge rock in the pond. It was so sweet standing there all by itself. Took a few minutes to draw it. Â Japan at Epcot is one of my favorite pavilions. It […]

View post →Last Sunday I traveled with the Dalvero artists to witness (and draw) the launch of the Charles W. Morgan, the only surviving wooden whale ship in the world. (If you remember, we currently have an exhibit of art documenting her restoration and history at the seaport – see it at www.dalveromystic.com.)Â A launch means that […]
View post →A drawing/watercolor I made for a book I wanted to illustrate, Anansi Stories. The Anansi myth is from Africa. Basically Anansi is a trouble maker. He is mainly represented as a spider, but I thought it might be fun to make him human. In this picture/drawing Anansi is collecting up all the common sense in […]
View post →Construction workers doing their thing. These drawings were made a while back in New York city on the Upper East Side. It was great drawing at a construction site. There was so much going on and so much body language to go along with it! Fun! Margaret Hurst
View post →Inspired by Dominick’s post yesterday, I decided to post a drawing I made of some people eating as well. This is a drawing of people eating hot dogs at DisneyWorld’s Magic Kingdom. Enjoy the weekend. Greg Betza ©2013
View post →Here is a drawing that I was able to salvage from a slight flood that affected only the bin with my art/projects in it. It mysteriously flipped, unlocked and spilled into the only puddle in the garage. I recently lost a ton of work from my hard drive that went dead on me. I dont […]
View post →I made this drawing from a window in my old apartment in Hoboken, NJ. Windows provide unusual and sometimes unreachable vantage points which will make your drawing unique. And remember if it’s too hot (or cold) to go outside, there’s always the window! Greg Betza ©2013
