View post →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. This is a drawing I made of a few tourists resting by the fountain. I know it’s easy to get jaded about tourists in Manhattan. The way they walk […]
View post →I went through some drawings that I made not too long ago and this little “jungle” drawing thumbnail appeared! It’s a jungle but not your typical jungle. I don’t remember why I made the thumbnail. Â There is a polar bear on an iceberg, a frog with a large right leg, an elephant with some giraffe […]

View post →“You ain’t seen nothing yet” These are the words I heard upon entering the Conservatory at Longwood Gardens. The kind old man on his scooter noticed me in my state of shock and awe after seeing the beyond-words-beautiful entrance, and felt the need to warn me about the rest of the place. He was not […]

View post →One week after Hurricane Sandy invaded New York I took my Dalvero class down to the World Trade Center. We arrived just in time to witness a very personal small ceremony of relatives of some victims of the 9/11 attacks. People were tying yellow ribbons around the lower branches of the Callery Pear Tree that […]

View post →The Chartres Cathedral is probably the finest example of French Gothic architecture and said by some to be the most beautiful cathedral in France. Upon a trip to Paris a few years back I had the privilege to visit this sacred destination. I still think about it all the time. It’s unique spacial sensibility was such a […]

I sat in on one of Veronica Lawlor’s classes at Pratt Art Institute and made a couple of drawings of this great model. I used a Japanese black ink brush, which was a Pentel pocket brush pen, and my old fav stand by, Pilot Varsity fountain pen. I love the results of the combination […]
