This is an Indian tiger that I illustrated recently for a newsletter for A&K luxury travel. I did several illustrations for them, but I especially enjoyed doing the tiger. I was thinking when I did it of the Jungle Book and the version I had as a child, illustrated by Aldren Watson. Rich, luscious watercolors […]

View post →I love the steamboat at Walt Disney World in Orlando. I have learned so much by drawing that boat over the years. The “wedding cake” my teacher used to call it. One class he made me sit on it every day for a week and draw. Wow. And now I send my students there to […]

With December in full swing this brisk sunny Sunday, Ronnie’s post this week inspired thoughts of warm, tempting days gone by for me too. Above is a reportage study for a larger painting project I started in Animal Kingdom. Happy Sunday! – Michele
View post →We’ve been having some unseasonably warm weather here in New York City, but I know it’s not going to last. As wintery winds start blowing, my mind drifts back to the Turks and Caicos islands where I spent some lovely time recently. Sitting on the porch overlooking the ocean, I started to play with color […]

View post →Just now finally getting to go through the many drawings I made in Spain in the summer of 2010. This was a group of young boys playing futbol (soccer) one day near the Miro museum. They were without doubt the most beautiful little boys I’ve ever seen. Long eyelashes, so sensitive, really sweet. Neil and […]
View post →Yesterday’s unseasonably cold weather reminded me of this drawing I made last year. It was an unseasonably warm day then, but I was standing on a patch of ice that had yet to melt and by the time I had made this drawing outside of the American Museum of Natural History, I was trembling. Suffering […]

View post →Nine years ago this week, standing tall right there in front of me…the Sydney Opera House  with it‘s bold and commanding design was undeniably awe inspiring from the outside and just as magnificent from within (considering the untouchable talent that’s passed through it’s gate). If you haven’t been there, I insist! A MUST SEE on your bucket […]

The illustration above of the Spiderman balloon, and one other of the SpongeBob balloon, were selected for AI30 from my reportage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I am looking forward […]
