This is a drawing I made in Tokyo at  Asakusa, of people purifying themselves with incense before entering the temple. It seems like a good meditation to me, as we enter into our second week of 2011. Posted by Veronica.

View post →This is a sketch I did of the lobby while I was staying at the delightfully odd Culver Hotel, which is choc-full with golden-age remnants, like Snow-White-esk carved roses on all doors and wiring that requires visitors to flip a master switch before using any lights. Notice the tech guys being dwarfed by the bizarrely […]
View post →Another watercolor/drawing of the joshua trees at the Joshua Tree National Park, definitely one of my favorite places to go to and draw and watercolor and photograph and just be with nature. Margaret
View post →Beautiful, romantic Sacré-CÅ“ur in beautiful, romantic Paris. I’m smiling as I’m typing this… Drawn on location by Veronica
View post →“I believe that in the indeterminacy of drawing, the contingent way that images arrive in the work, lies some kind of model of how we live our lives. Â The activity of drawing is a way of trying to understand who we are and how we operate in the world.” –William Kentridge identity Thinking with hands […]
View post →Whew! Just got back from a month of traveling and finally unpacked my suitcase. Spent some time in Barcelona, then traveled to Paris with the Dalvero Academy and finally wound up my travels by going to Portland as a presenter at the Urban Sketchers Symposium! This drawing was made at the Farmer’s Market in Portland, […]
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. […]

View post →Summertime makes me think of Europe, and the many wonderful drawing trips I’ve taken there. Here are some of the beautiful people shopping in the piazza in Venice. “Bella figura!” It means beautiful figure and it is like a religion for the Italians. Apparently as Billy Crystal said it truly is better to look good […]

View post →Spotted this man partying down with his Guinness in a pub in Dublin. Looks happy, right? In general, I’ve found the Irish to be a very happy people, but you’d almost never know it from looking at them! Happy Saturday, all you lovely Irishmen (and women). And everyone else, for that matter – Veronica
View post →Several years ago I had the amazing opportunity to reportage “Semana Santa”, or Holy Week, in Seville, Spain. Holy week is the last few days of Lent leading up to Easter, a very important time in the Catholic faith. In Seville it is a major event. Starting on Holy Thursday and going up until Easter […]
View post →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 […]
