Of all of the years I can remember this may be the one I’m both thankful for and thankful to see end. Personally it has brought new perspectives, new growth and a new home. I am extremely thankful. I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and I hope that however you’re celebrating […]

This week I’m in Pompano Beach Florida. The grounds of our accommodations are beautiful and I did my best to capture them with a few markers. Tropical plants look so strong and full of life. Greg Betza ©2020

Here in south western Florida it is still very much summer time. I spent a nice day today on the beach at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park. I had a chance to make one drawing and here it is, a couple of guys wading around getting a tan. Greg Betza ©2020

I stayed a few weeks on a canal in Holiday, FL. This is a quick marker drawing of the houses reflecting in the water. Looks kinda junky in the day but at night with a few lights on it looks rich and beautiful. Greg Betza ©2020

Lido beach in Sarasota Florida is where my family and I spent the first few days of fall this year. Didn’t plan it that way, but that’s how it worked out. Ironic since fall is often the time when I mourn the passing of warm weather and the descent into the looooong cold winter months. […]

I’m spending a few weeks in Florida and have palm trees in my yard! It’s been raining for days but I was just able to pop out and make this quick pencil drawing in between the drops. Feels great to be back in Florida drawing. Greg Betza ©2020

Margaret’s recent post inspired me to dig into my file of older drawings and I found this portrait I made at Disney years ago. I’m 99% sure he was the mayor of main street. Good memories. Greg Betza ©2020

A good friend and fellow illustrator Ted Michalowski invited me and a few other professionals to “sit-in” an draw with his SCAD zoom class this week. The event known as “Drawnline” is an exciting opportunity for the students to draw from life as they sit, unfortunately, in quarantine. This week I was happily surprised to […]

Craft paper that is. I love drawing on colored paper which begs the question why don’t I do it more? Here is a piece from a zoom figure drawing session a few weeks (or maybe months) ago. Greg Betza ©2020

With Disney beginning to open up their theme parks, here is an older drawing made before the Dumbo ride was “re-imagined”. This meandering drawing I believe got cut short (see the people putting on ponchos and the umbrella) as the rain started to fall. You can also see the ink on my thumbnails starting to […]

Having so much time these days I’m sure you find yourselves looking into the past. Whether through your memories or through digital files, and sometimes we stumble upon something we had forgotten. Such is what happened with this drawing from 2014. Greg Betza ©2020
