The Tour De France concluded on Sunday in Paris, and as I watched the coverage and the amazing shots of the city, I fell in love with Paris…again. A few of my good friends were there drawing the race and I couldn’t help but think of the time I spent drawing in Paris in 2006. […]
View post →Putting it mildly, (if you weren’t here) Saturday night in New York City was unbearably hot and steamy. It was the perfect night for a movie after a long week  at work (hint,hint: air-conditioning!). We went to see Inception (a very popular movie that sold-out soon after we got there) which left the “late comers” having […]
View post →Tea Cups at Disney. Â This is a ride you don’t want to take on a full stomach! Â I thought I could handle it, but I was zig zaging around the park after that fateful ride. Â I don’t know what makes me think I can keep getting on these rides that turn me upside down and […]

View post →I spent some time at Ground Zero Friday. It’s an incredibly powerful place, I imagine unlike any other. The site has been transformed into a city of cranes and construction. I can’t help but think that this is exactly how it must have looked in the 1970s during the building of the Twin Towers. While […]
View post →Summertime makes me think of Europe, and the many wonderful drawing trips I’ve taken there. Here are some of the beautiful people shopping in the piazza in Venice. “Bella figura!” It means beautiful figure and it is like a religion for the Italians. Apparently as Billy Crystal said it truly is better to look good […]

View post →This is a drawing/watercolor I made when I took a trip out to Joshua Tree National Park in California, one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen. Â What a challenge to draw…huge slabs of rock, and in this particular scene, a few sparse pieces of vegetation. Â It is so monumental that I said […]
View post →I spent some time watching tennis yesterday and I did a few drawings from the screen. It’s a great way to practice when you don’t have a model. Here is one I was particularly happy with. drawing by Greg Betza
View post →Teachers, friends and books … three simple words, but they mean so much. This past Monday Dominick and I were having a conversation about art and asking what does it take for an artist to truly reach their potential? So I shared with him something my Kabbalah teacher Sarah told me last week, (it was […]

Â National Pigeon Day is usually celebrated on June 13th, in Central Park, but this year the Puerto Rican Day Parade was held on Saturday June 13th, so NPD will be celebrated today, June 19th! COO! COO! COO!

View post →The image of the pelicans this past week covered from head to toe in oil left such an indelibly painful impression on my heart. It’s so sad to see the how much devastation is happening to the ecosystem in the gulf. In response I thought I’d share one of my favorite poems, (which ironically seemed […]
