Ink drawing of an african performer. Eddie Peña
View post →I started this drawing, the parts in ink, at the AMNH in the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda. I put the pad down for a moment and everything changed. I turned the pad around and found birds. Prehistoric birds. A nod to Teddy for reading all about his youthful observation. It must have had an impact because […]
View post →While the Dalvero Academy students were drawing on Main Street in DisneyWorld one day, I decided to play around with color and line. Good for the teachers to study too! Plus, it was enjoyable. Thinking about summers and the ice cream on Main Street makes me smile… posted by Veronica

View post →A pen and ink drawing of a model with my ink bottle and a glass of water to add to the ink… if I choose! Dip pen and ink are one of my favorite mediums to draw with. You never know what’s going to happen when you use it, so it’s always a fun surprise…serendipity! […]
View post →A little art LIFE LESSON 101: Don’t ever let “the no paper excuse” ever slow you down. Above is a drawing (or two) done in the PlayBill at a recent concert in Lincoln Center. Did you know even Picasso, “the man himself” drew on toilet paper when he couldn’t find paper? Yep, desperate times call […]

San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf area can be a scene of TOTAL ACTIVITY, especially on the Fourth of July, when this drawing was made. Streetcars, bicycles, pedestrians, dogs, cats, birds, sunbathers, tokers, smokers, jokers, lovers, runners, dancers, romancers. What a scene! Note the use of the thumbnail in the top left corner – design is the […]

It’s PARTY TIME! in New Orleans, as today marks Fat Tuesday, or Carnival, the day before the start of Lent in the Catholic tradition. Although the party has been going since the weekend, I’m sure. I’ve had some wonderful times in New Orleans, drawing and dancing. Or drawing the dancing. This drawing was made in […]

View post →Hey, sometimes being in the ‘happiest place on earth’, wearing full princess regalia, and eating ice cream all day long can become a too much of a burden. Hence, the meltdown. She didn’t WANT ice cream, but she didn’t NOT WANT ice cream either. Too many moments of magic for one day…poor little thing. Someone […]
View post →The trifecta at the Met. This was a very avid conversation! I was not close enough to hear the conversation, but the body language was pretty vivid! Very fun to watch and draw! Margaret Hurst

Number two in the Met People series. A lady with some very high, sharp boots getting something to eat in the old dining area. Magaret Hurst
View post →This drawing was made the same day as my last post. I was in a minimalist mood I guess. This is a drawing of a girl relaxing under a potted plant with camera in hand. If you’re lucky enough not to be snowed in this weekend, get out and take some pictures (or do […]
View post →There are all kinds of people who go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This is a very informal couple sitting in a very formal setting. This drawing was drawn at the end of the hall to the left of the museum entrance when it used to be a restaurant. I liked it then. You […]
