While on the trip to Cuba we drove into the countryside west of Havana. This gentleman was sitting on his bull while his friends were talking on the bench. The tree was huge with its beautiful large green leaves. A beautiful day in Vinales! m. hurst
View post →Irish, Greek. What’s the difference right? Here’s a bit of green for the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day from the famous olive tree of Vouves in Crete. It would’ve been even greener if it wasn’t for the rare heavy snow from this past winter that broke off many of its branches. Gotta love climate change! […]
View post →There will never be enough time in the day. This is never more apparent than during the holiday season. I wish the days could just slow down to a crawl. I love everything about the lead up, and everything about the time after. Forget the day itself, that could last forever. So as I ponder […]
View post →I spent the good part of the day thinking it was yesterday until I got a phone call from someone very close to me. She seemed sad and I was taken away from the monotony of the week as we talked. Realizing it was today and it was in fact Thursday I had very little […]
View post →On a recent trip to Boston with Dalvero Academy we spent the afternoon in Copley Square. The square is beautiful, historical and modern. Under a small leafy green tree across the street from the Boston Public Library is the finish line for the Boston Marathon where a small wooden memorial is representing the four people […]

View post →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 →Yesterday we had so much fog in our area. It was remarkable. We couldn’t see the houses down the street, driving was a scary task and parks became a horror movie director’s dream come true. My family and I took a walk through one of our neighborhood parks to take advantage of this rare sight […]
View post →One last tree still pretending that autumn is not coming to a close. In all fairness it has been mild compared to last week and the fog did obscure the other trees. Maybe someone should tell the leaves to go.—Dominick FREE BOOK GIVEAWAY! In our new Facebook group, One Watercolor A Day, (view it HERE) […]
View post →Obviously my past few posts have been leading up to a month of watercolors. For the fun of it I am going to try and do one watercolor a day and post them on my personal blog. I’ll post them before next Thursday when I am up again. And after a little hiatus we have […]
View post →In the Animal Kingdom in DisneyWorld, there is an Indian prayer tree. The tradition is that people tie ribbons or bits of fabric to the tree, to represent a wish or prayer. When that prayer is answered, the person puts a bell on the tree. The sound of the bells tinkling represents all the answered […]

View post →Found this thumbnail, and I really don’t know when I did it or where (or why!). Believe it or not, I usually have a fairly clear memory of creating all of my work, and that’s what makes this painting so intriguing (to me). Greg Betza © 2013
View post →I like to move the objets d’art in my home around quite often. I like to change the scenery. Today, while shuffling the ‘stuff’ around I made some drawings of a few items. I was drawn to the patterns created when I mixed pieces from different cultures. This is a quick drawing of a wooden […]
