A drawing I made at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World with Cinderella’s Castle in the background. This was made many years ago. Have always loved drawing at Disney: so many people in so many places! It never ends! m hurst

Here is a drawing I made during a recent trip to Universal Studios in Florida. They had these great giant hats on all of the lamp posts. Strange but fitting for Christmas time. Have a wonderful holiday everyone! Greg Betza ©2020

I spent a day drawing at Universal Studios recently. Performing that day were these great stilt walkers decked out in holiday costumes. A giant candy-cane and wooden soldier. Fun! …and great to be out drawing in that environment again. Greg Betza ©2020

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

By chance I happen to be in Tampa, FL right now and the Tampa Bay Lightning just won the Stanley Cup, also known as the ultimate prize for my favorite sport. My son and I went down to the riverwalk yesterday to watch the first of it’s kind “boat parade” for the champs. It […]

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 guess I can’t stop searching through my drawing pads and finding drawings created a while back. This is a drawing of people at Disney World. Trying to learn about picture making, design, line, etc. Have to say, its been interesting to look over these drawings and see where my head was at! And theirs!!! […]

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

This drawing of these gentlemen hanging out on a porch in Viñales, was made during a memorable trip to Cuba in 2015. As I was drawing it, one of the men came over and engaged me in conversation. Read the whole story in my post on our Studio 1482 website New section: Armchair Travels: Cuba. […]

Well yes it is called the Willis Tower these days, but growing up when it was known as the Sears Tower it’s always been hard for me to call it anything else. It’s a beautiful building, from a different time. Greg Betza ©2020

Continuing to look through my sketchbooks. Found this drawing from Le Tour De France in Paris. One of the most amazing events to observe! More energy exuding, even at the end of the race. Although, that’s probably when the riders are the most pumped. Incredible energy! m hurst

I spent the better part of the weekend trying to resolve an old drawing. My patience as the years go by certainly grows. I look back on sketchbooks from one day of my life a decade and a half ago and wonder how I tried to get so much done. Then I start to see […]

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 […]
