Part of staying close to home has been the realization that so much happens when you aren’t really paying attention. The number of bird calls I have discovered echoing through my neighborhood grows by the day. I also have noticed, just like watching a pot boil, that one should NOT watch grass grow. Nothing happens […]

I did this illustration for a yearly encounter of waiting for the first snow. While it has snowed a few times, mostly before the winter began, I am still waiting for the blizzard, regardless of what that old groundhog says.—Dominick

Not sure if these two will become a part of the adventure but it was to draw none the less.—Dominick

A long time ago, in a land down yonder river, I started an adventure with a knight. It follows me wherever I go and recently appeared right before my eyes. Tales of long ago, and not so long ago as well, flooded back. Maybe the snow moon will bring along some new directions. —Dominick

It was like Narnia outside today, yet no Turkish Delight to be found. Lots of ice and no time to play. I keep telling myself the next time it snows I am taking a snow day, but something always comes up. Maybe next time. What did that woodchuck see last week anyway? —Dominick

I love the magical feeling of a silent snowy night in NYC – feels like Christmas to me. Merry Christmas Eve! posted by Veronica

It never changes that every year, the weeks leading up to the holiday season become progressively busier and busier. The end of the semester, clients finalizing their projects for the year, time spent thinking about and planning for goals and projects for the year to come. In the middle of all this hustle and bustle, […]

We had our first snowfall in New York City this weekend. Took a break from deadlines to draw a few pictures out of my studio window. The first snow of the season is always so beautiful! posted by Veronica

I was very happy to help initiate our new Holiday category on studio1482.com this summer. It meant that I would be searching through and working on some projects that always seem to be in the forefront of my mind for a short but intense period of time but are never allowed the room to come […]

As the snow attempts to cover the ground before me, I see more than I have seen in years just how little it takes to make such a beautiful view. Minimal color, no leaves waiting to fall—or grow for that matter—just a serene landscape full of so much more than I have seen in seasons past. So as […]
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 →Ok, so the first day of Spring was yesterday and yes, it did snow in New York and a bit of the Northeast. but it was a warm wet snow. Signs that the thaw is upon us, or rather finishing. In just one short week most of the snow that covered the ground I wasn’t […]
View post →Irish, Greek. What’s the difference right? Here’s a bit of green for the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day from the famous olive tree of Vouves in Crete. It would’ve been even greener if it wasn’t for the rare heavy snow from this past winter that broke off many of its branches. Gotta love climate change! […]

View post →I do not shy away from my love of winter. And snow. And the cold. I should. I get dirty looks most of the time. And while I don’t long for Spring just yet, I do have to say, holy crap even I am cold. I worried when I left for California that I would […]
View post →Oddly enough, the one thing I dreaded about making the cross country trip in January was the possibility of missing a snow storm. I am one of the vocal few who love winter, love the snow, love the cold. Yes, I said love. Don’t curse me out. I don’t do the Calvin snow dance—at least […]
View post →The moment always seems to arrive sooner than expected. But that is life. I’ve actually planned for this post for some time. I wasn’t expecting the snow, for which I am always thankful for, so the color and the subject might be out of place for those in southern New York or on the East […]
View post →Snow is NOT white. Trust me I’ve seen enough snow this winter to last a lifetime. But amidst all the whining and complaining about the snow, every time I look out the window, or as I walk or drive through town, I am overwhelmed by how beautiful it is. I’ve seen lavendar snow, orange snow, […]
