You know those people who say, “I love the variation of the four seasons, and could never live in a climate where it was warm all year long”? Well, I’m not one of them. I HATE the cold weather, almost as much as I love living in New York City. You can see the conundrum […]

Decided to post another hibiscus screen print to keep the good vibes and thoughts out there for US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean islands. People are still in need of help in the Caribbean in the wake of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. #USVI Strong m. hurst

Spent a magical week this past July in St. Thomas, with Studio 1482 friend Margaret Hurst and her family. Margaret and I spent an afternoon at a park in the downtown area, drawing people and just feeling the overall laid back vibe. The place and people were heavenly. I’ve been thinking about these people non-stop […]

As my friend Margaret wrote in her post on Saturday, we spent a lovely afternoon together in St. Thomas recently. Sitting at a table with our iced coffees, feeling the breeze, hearing the birds, and painting two palm trees, just for the fun of painting them. It doesn’t get much better than that, kids! We […]

Just spent a wonderful week in St. Thomas with Margaret Hurst and her family. Marg and I went down to town one day to make some drawings, and I saw this woman with her children, above. She was so sweet! Posted by Veronica
View post →Or is it spelled mangoes? Never sure. All I know is, a few years back when I visited St. Thomas with Margaret, her brother’s house had a mango tree behind it. Every morning, we would take our coffee out on to the porch and pull a mango off the tree for breakfast. So heavenly. It’s […]
View post →In the spirit of the Holidays I am posting my Holiday card, which is a gold and black silkscreened hibiscus. The hibiscus is a very beautiful flower seen all over St. Thomas, so I thought it would be nice to use it for my card. In the spirit of the Holidays this card is also […]

View post →As the days of freezing rain, slush, sleet and snow arrive in New York City, I like to console myself up with memories of warmer climes. This is my interpretation of a mango tree – the ones that hung over the back porch of Marg‘s brother Billy. Man, just reach up and grab a mango […]
