A rose is a beautiful thing to look at whenever you can!  This particular rose was drawn and water colored at the Bronx Botanical Gardens in New York. It was great  because so many beautiful roses and other flowers were in bloom that day that it was hard to pick out a particular flower.  I […]
View post →My contribution to the Studio 1482 Hurricane Sandy fundraiser, is titled: Bethesda Fountain Angel, NYC. I chose this image of the Angel as she is a symbol of healing, blessing the waters of the Bethesda Fountain in New York’s Central Park. In response to Hurricane Sandy’s devastating effects on the New York and New Jersey […]

View post →New York is a great city. I was afraid of it when I saw it for the first time many, many years ago: it was soooo tall! I grew to love it over the years I’ve been living here. I have always maintained that New York City is it’s own country. What don’t we have? […]
View post →Terrible storm we had a few days ago. Hurricane Sandy…wow. Not much to say except that I wish all affected a speedy recovery. Here is a tree across the street from my home. It ripped up the lawn in this perfect triangle. Unbelievable. ©2012 Greg Betza

View post →Been busier than ever this fall, it’s nice to stop and think about a wonderful summer a few years ago. I spent time in Barcelona drawing such things as the Sagrada Familia (above) and then Neil met me and after a nice long visit in Barcelona we went to Paris. Where he proposed. 🙂 That […]

View post →This past August, Margaret and I conducted our semi-annual class at Disney World in Orlando. GREAT place to draw and learn! One of the things everyone must draw is the Electric Light Parade, a beautiful Disney spectacle. I drew these two young girls while we were all waiting for the parade to begin on Main […]
View post →On my recent trip to Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, I met many wonderful people. Some were from the Urban Sketchers community; others lived in the city. Papito, above, was one of the nicest. I was drawing in his botanica in the Mercado, and he brought me a seat. So sweet! Once I finished […]
View post →Thought I’d follow the trend set by Despina and Margaret – – – here is my portrait of Lapin drawing Rosa Lee at the Highline in NYC: See more drawings of the day on Urban Sketchers HERE. Posted by Veronica Lawlor.
View post →As Margaret mentioned in last week’s post, she, Despina and I spent an afternoon together recently, doing some drawings in Times Square. The place was loaded with tourists, all craning their necks and popping their heads around to see all the hoopla that is the crossroads of the busiest city in America. Political protests, naked […]
View post →Another drawing from Parque Colon, Santo Domingo. This of a Dominican woman and her daughter. The people in Santo Domingo were definitely the best part of the city, which says a lot because the Colonial Zone felt architecturally like Seville, one of my favorite cities! Please visit my blog for more drawings of the people […]

View post →A drawing of Williamsburg hipsters having a discussion on the L-train in New York City. The lady on the right was strikingly gorgeous despite the bizarre woolen headscarf her head was wrapped in, and the shaggy guy in the middle had what looked suspiciously like plucked eyebrows.

View post →This is the first of a few drawings I’ll be posting of people on the New York subway. This one is of a young lady reading on the F-train to the Lower East Side in Manhattan.
