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, […]

View post →Can’t say I wasn’t extremely happy to see the snow start falling on Tuesday night. As we drove to make our rounds yesterday the cold air had held the snow to the branches. This morning, a little more before the clouds parted. Winter is upon us.—Dominick
View post →Woke this morning to a blanket of snow. The kids were out early taking advantage of it’s fresh start. Me myself? …preferred nothing more than admiring it from inside with a yummy hot chocolate. – Have a warm one, Michele
View post →For no other reasons than to be reminded that we are not always in control, that we have to roll with mother nature, that an unexpected obstacle might block our path, let it snow. If that’s not good enough, fly south for the winter, it’s always warmer in Florida. —Dominick
View post →Woke up to more snow than I was prepared for! My first thought was food. What will we eat today? Then I thought of posting a drawing. I thought it would be nice to share a frame from a storyboard I made about snow and gloves. Here’s more of that storyboard -Despina
View post →Last week I received an email from my cousin that included an article proposing the idea that we all put a little more thought and a little less money into our season of giving. Of course, when I need it, the email is nestled away on another computer, but as I scrambled yet again to […]
