A page of notes from the Naturalist Workshop 2014 in Provincetown, MA that Dalvero Academy attended last weekend. Entanglement is a major issue for whales, turtles and other marine animals. Rope used to be made of hemp, now it is all made of plastic. It doesn’t break down, EVER, and so this plastic rope becomes […]

Oliver’s starting to wonder what happens to his work when he goes to sleep at night, lol! It’s the perfect opportunity to tell him I think Jake visits from Neverland while he’s dreaming because he’s such an inspiration. Who know’s? The Easter Bunny might not be too far away 😉 – Michele

View post →One of the advantages of marrying a man with children is that I get to be a step-mom, and go visit them from time to time. This time, we were in Clearwater, Florida, and took a day to visit the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. This is the aquarium famously represented in the movie, A Dolphin’s Tale, […]

View post →This drawing was made over ten years ago down on the waterfront in Hoboken, NJ. There is a fairly large dock which is home to hundreds of boats all sandwiched together. I can’t imagine what it must be like to park one of them.

San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf area can be a scene of TOTAL ACTIVITY, especially on the Fourth of July, when this drawing was made. Streetcars, bicycles, pedestrians, dogs, cats, birds, sunbathers, tokers, smokers, jokers, lovers, runners, dancers, romancers. What a scene! Note the use of the thumbnail in the top left corner – design is the […]

It’s PARTY TIME! in New Orleans, as today marks Fat Tuesday, or Carnival, the day before the start of Lent in the Catholic tradition. Although the party has been going since the weekend, I’m sure. I’ve had some wonderful times in New Orleans, drawing and dancing. Or drawing the dancing. This drawing was made in […]

Or is it spelled mangoes? Never sure. All I know is, a few years back when I visited St. Thomas with Margaret, her brother’s house had a mango tree behind it. Every morning, we would take our coffee out on to the porch and pull a mango off the tree for breakfast. So heavenly. It’s […]
View post →This drawing was made the same day as my last post. I was in a minimalist mood I guess. This is a drawing of a girl relaxing under a potted plant with camera in hand. If you’re lucky enough not to be snowed in this weekend, get out and take some pictures (or do […]
View post →As I sit here in NYC, surrounded by snow, and waiting for more tomorrow, I like to remind myself of good times spent in warmer places. sigh… The drawing above is one of a series of drawings I made of a large food market in Barcelona. Maybe since I’m snowed in I’ll be able to […]
View post →A few months back I wrote and posted a drawing I did while standing on what’s been called the most expensive strip of real estate in Europe, La plus belle avenue du monde (â€The most beautiful avenue in the worldâ€) also known as theAvenue des Champs-Élyséesin Paris, France. It got me thinking about what defines […]
