Remember when they gave you a wing pin of the airline when you flew? Flight attendants were “stewardesses” and “stewards”, and of course you had to make sure to book your seat as far away from the smoking section as you could, as nothing smells quite as bitter and disgusting as recycled air tinged with […]
View post →I love the steamboat at Walt Disney World in Orlando. I have learned so much by drawing that boat over the years. The “wedding cake” my teacher used to call it. One class he made me sit on it every day for a week and draw. Wow. And now I send my students there to […]
View post →We’ve been having some unseasonably warm weather here in New York City, but I know it’s not going to last. As wintery winds start blowing, my mind drifts back to the Turks and Caicos islands where I spent some lovely time recently. Sitting on the porch overlooking the ocean, I started to play with color […]
View post →Just now finally getting to go through the many drawings I made in Spain in the summer of 2010. This was a group of young boys playing futbol (soccer) one day near the Miro museum. They were without doubt the most beautiful little boys I’ve ever seen. Long eyelashes, so sensitive, really sweet. Neil and […]

View post →Took this drawing I made of an Afro-Cuban band in New Orleans a few years ago and messed around with it in the computer. It was fun to create the brown line and add some music/energy marks in bright colors. This was an awesome band, the old Cuban guys really knew how to create a […]

View post →Barcelona is such a beautifully surreal city. The architect, Antonio Gaudi, helped make it so with his organic, wonderfully undulating architecture. It snakes it’s way around the city and winds up in Park Guell, a massively exotic architectural fantasy land set atop a mountain looking down on Gaudi’s obsession, Sagrada Familia. I enjoyed the magical […]
View post →Neil and I took our bicycles through the Haitian neighborhood in Providenciales, and I did some drawing. There is a large Haitian community in the Turks & Caicos, because the local population iss not large enough to handle all the work that needs to be done in the hotels on Grace Bay. These guys were […]
View post →A long acquainted sister to Mystic’s busy shore .   It is early Sunday,   here     in Newport, Rhode Island.        Ah, the crisp morning air feels so good as I’m graced by the essence of fresh coffee and warm fudge being prepared for the day’s […]
View post →Just returned from a wonderful honeymoon with Neil in the Turks & Caicos islands, about one step ahead of the hurricane! Did this watercolor from the balcony of our hotel room. I tried to show the mix of island freedom and color and British regimented design that co-exists on these tiny islands. Also jotted down […]

View post →Chinatown in San Francisco is the largest Chinese community outside of Asia. The ‘Dragon Gate’ at the entrance to the neighborhood is the only authentic Chinatown gate in North America. I had the pleasure of sitting across from it, sipping a decaff cappucinno, and drawing several views. Heavenly! posted by Veronica Lawlor
