Howdy Monday people! Let’s see if a weekend can give me enough time to have a post ready all year long. For those of you expecting another Studio member today,we all shifted around a bit. Don’t think I’ve ever had the privilege to start out the week, at least not for the foreseeable future. I’ll […]
View post →Planning on making a trip to draw my father again soon. Pulled this from a book when I was looking through for some “recent” work.—Dominick
View post →I went to the farm yesterday thinking I would have a moment to draw bit of winter scenery for today’s post. Of course the day goes askew in one way or another and I found myself en route with my drawing materials on my desk at home. I thought I would do a still life […]
View post →One of my favorite places in all of NYC will forever be the 4, 5 and 6 stop at Union Square. For years I would listen to listen to my friend play the steelpan drum. He even offered to teach me one day. I haven’t seen him in years, but I got on the train […]
View post →For a few moments on Saturday morning I thought the predictions were being proven wrong, that the path of the storm had pushed north and that I would finally see the ground covered with snow. But the blizzard like scene lasted only minutes and sure enough stalled to a slow and steady dusting. And a […]
View post →Two weeks can seem like an eternity and sometimes it can happen overnight. Sometimes both occur to prove science still has not fully grasped the time space continuum. Had I written down my resolutions maybe they would have meant a little more. So I start today. I vow to keep up with this blog, fill […]
View post →There is something about the repetition of the holiday that makes it comforting. Knowing that—as it always has and always will—everything will work in its proper time. What is important will rise to the top. And the things that we convince ourselves are most needed will be quietly exchanged and greeted with gratitude. I look […]
View post →I have heard all sorts of good and bad for the near balmy weather we have had over the past few days. I keep reaching for the scarf and gloves and leaving them the car. Soon enough it will look and feel like Christmas, even if the day has passed. But somewhere in the horizon I […]
View post →I don’t know why I should be surprised when I see a burst of color along the horizon, I keep waking to sunny days left over from September. These temperatures are not right, but the colors are nice. Funny how a few days of rain will make the next few days that much brighter. Enjoy […]
View post →I can’t promise that November 13th will live on etched in my memory like the kindred days in New York, only time will tell if distance dulls the mind. What is forever carved in stone is my time in France, particularly Paris, and the streets I walked, the places I visited and most importantly the […]
View post →So the days work before me a week ago was what one one would call a bust. Actually, it was a weeks worth of set backs and fiascoes, some my doing by not paying attention to time three years ago, some just the luck of the draw. The week ended on a better note and […]
View post →Right now I am not feeling very optimistic about the days work still before me but the above drawing was the start of a bigger project that is on my board right now, literally. This drawing was done last summer, sorry summer 2014—the months are going by so fast, when the Charles W. Morgan returned […]
View post →To say that I find joy in picking a spot, sitting down and drawing is an understatement. It is like no other experience that I can compare. Part social analysis, part cultural happening—a study in shapes and patterns, motion and line—it is easy to get lost in the reportage. There is so much that comes […]
View post →Did a quick drawing while waiting for lunch on Stone Street and thinking of the first settlers in lower Manhattan. Narrow streets and “tall” buildings make it all very European. —Dominick
View post →Not as much of an event as the May Day Protests, but Union Square is always one of the best spots in New York for people watching and of course spending some time drawing. I found myself with a few hours to kill, an unusual event as of late, and nearby one of my favorite […]
View post →It rained much of my time in London, poured many days. So when the sky’s broke and the sun was shining I found myself at the end of the Millennium Bridge with St. Paul’s Cathedral in the background. Didn’t get as many drawings done as I would have liked, but I certainly laid the plans […]
View post →I’ve been to London once before, and while I am here now by the end of the day I will be back in NY and little time will have passed. It is amazing how spans of time can come or go, dragging on or flying by. Seems like yesterday I landed. Thanks to Stafford […]
View post →I have loved parades for as far back as I can remember—on the television, on the sidelines, blocks away—there is always something that seems so magical about so many different types of people celebrating in unity. The pageantry of the next honored participant, gazed at by young and old along the edges, overflowing into […]
