So, obviously, fellow One-Drawing-a-Dayer Greg and I went on the same trip. He posted a drawing from Santorini yesterday, and I’ll be island hopping to Crete today. Here is a drawing I made of the church in my mother’s home town of Kalives. These type of churches are such a lovely mix of cultures. Crete […]
View post →Here is another drawing from my trip to Greece. We visited the island (or archipelago) of Santorini (Thira) which was unlike any place I had ever seen. Upon pulling into the port you can’t believe what you are looking at. The small whitewashed homes that line the tops of the island look like pieces of […]
View post →This summer The New York Botanical Garden has hosted a series of exhibitions called the “Edible Gardens”. I was fortunate enough to find myself in the middle of this delicious cooking demonstration. I’m going back when Emeril Lagasse shows up next month! Enjoy. Eddie Peña
View post →I think I’ll take a break from posting holiday facts on onedrawingaday. I will continue the project on my own blog, so come on over to check out what’s going on in the world on any given day. So for the next few weeks, I’d like to share some drawings I made this summer during […]
View post →I’ve just returned from an amazing trip to Greece. My family and I visited Crete, Santorini and Athens and we were fortunate to have ample time to create some art. This painting is of the river Xydas in the village of Kalyves on the island of Crete. The three boats have become somewhat of a […]

View post →A place where respect and quiet is demanded. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is colossal, and when you walk in it only gets bigger. It’s a great place to draw, where you can stay cool and no one bothers you. Eddie Peña

View post →Believe it or not, not much is going on in the world today by way of holidays. So, if you’re thinking of doing something special and getting worldwide recognition for it, today is a great day to do it. It’s totally open for you! In place of the usual holiday-themed drawing, I’d like to share […]
View post →Another drawing from a few years back when I spent the better part of a long summer reportage-ing all around New York. Often I feel overwhelmed at Rockefeller Center, maybe because there is so much to look at, great art, architecture, tons of people, I don’t know, but on this day I was able to […]
View post →Just figured it was a good day for a song. Something traditional. A classic. Easily sung along with. Happy Saturday everybody.
View post →The American Museum of Natural History, one of my favorite places to go and disappear. It is a world of fun and adventure, where the past is brought to life and the present is magnified. If you have not gone, GO! Eddie Peña
View post →Walking through the second floor of the Met Museum in NYC I love browsing through museums, and taking emotional notes with either my brain or my pen (or, as in this case, with pencil and crayon)
View post →Roxy at Madison Sq. Park a couple years ago….a small cocktail party with the “steel tree” behind the party goers. Â Margaret
View post →This drawing is about 10 years old and it’s still one of my favorites. This is an art deco inspired (obviously) drawing of a 1939/40 Cadillac LaSalle. A beautiful car, I hope I did it justice! drawing by Greg Betza
View post →Summer as a kid was great. I spent all my summers  in the Dominican Republic running around, eating fruits straight from the tree. My grandfather had cows, pigs, chickens, rabbits and more. Being a city boy I’m thankful to have experienced milking a cow, chasing chickens and hunting lizards. Above is a drawing of Emilio. Emilio […]

The hipster and the great sphinxView post →
Every year during the summer time in NYC, the fishermen line up along the East River on New York’s lower east side. They are out here every day, looking for treasure in the rivers around the Big Apple. They do seem to catch something, and they eat it, too! Not sure how I’d feel about […]
View post →Different Roxy Paine “trees” at Madison Sq. Park on 23rd Street from a few years back. Â Everyone sat under them like they were real trees and enjoyed the afternoon! Â Margaret
