Also included a tree trunk of the Declaration of Independence. Â The thumbnail in the lower left corner is the Declaration […]

View post →I made this thumbnail in Paris. I could never decide if it’s the road ahead, or if it’s a view of looking back on the road just traveled. I’ve decided finally, that it’s yesterday. Ahead is the new year, and I got me a pair of new hiking shoes 😉 A very Happy and Healthy […]

Again at the Bronx Botanical Gardens. I really enjoy my trips to the gardens. It’s a place where you can leave the rumbling of the city behind, at least for a moment. Eddie Peña

View post →When the dog days of August hit my thoughts often go to the Magic Kingdom, where I’ve spent so many HOT yet satisfying August days. This is a study I did of the carousel one year – what a magical place to draw. Posted by Veronica
View post →A somewhat odd situation: Â an unhappy, angry woman encountering a self-satisfied, smug individual at the Italian Pavilion in Epcot. Â There were no words exchanged, just an overwhelming, radiating air of hostility and entitlement growing and undulating between the two. By the end of it I wasn’t sure who was the hostile one and who was […]
View post →The Tour De France concluded on Sunday in Paris, and as I watched the coverage and the amazing shots of the city, I fell in love with Paris…again. A few of my good friends were there drawing the race and I couldn’t help but think of the time I spent drawing in Paris in 2006. […]
