I recently went to draw at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. Very beautiful area with rich history, beautiful structures and some of the best people watching. I saw a ridiculously long line for the “Sex and the City” Tour Bus. Very funny. Maybe I’ll post the drawing of that another day. This time, I’ll share […]
View post →Every time I visit LA I realize how much the West Coast lifestyle permeated the culture in TV in and movies during my youth. Seems like an obvious conclusion to come to, but the things that jump out when you spend even a little bit of time there are those things that set California apart […]

View post →Here is another pastel drawing I made while visiting Sedona with fellow 1482-er Margaret Hurst a few years ago. What a gorgeous place – the landscape is so beautiful you almost can’t believe it’s real! There are supposedly areas in Sedona called ‘vortexes’ where you can feel some kind of gravitational pull of the Earth. […]
View post →Going through some sketch books and came across a drawing of pigeons in Venice, Italy. There really were a lot of pigeons/doves. Honest. It was crazy! I loved it! Margaret Hurst
View post →I found this spread in my sketchbook and thought it was interesting how on one page I decided to cover all traces of hair by drawing these fully “capped” men, and then on the next page I’m practically combing these guys with my pencil. Who knows what goes through your mind when your drawing! […]

View post →I’m a Bob Dylan fan. I think he is a genius. AND I finally had the opportunity to see him last Saturday night at the Beacon Theatre in New York City! Not the easiest place to draw as it was very DARK, but between my memory of what he looks like and the little that […]

New Orleans is really a romantic city – the jazz music, the voodoo vibe, the paddle boats, the wrought iron architecture and of course, the horse & carriages that are all over the city. The sound of horse hooves clomping down the cobblestone streets (I forgot that in the list!) really adds to the atmosphere. […]

View post →I think Robin Hood really did live here. Or maybe it was Maid Marion? Could this be where Howard Pyle did his illustrations? Saw this tower at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania last weekend, and I couldn’t help but want to draw it! Having an Adirondack chair, nice weather, and Neil drawing next to me didn’t […]
