Took a trip to Scranton with Julia Sverchuk and Veronica Lawlor because Veronica, Ronnie, was conducting a drawing workshop for Synaesthesia Social hosted by Ted Michalowski. These musicians were incredible, and incredibly in tuned with each other! Jamie Orfanella played the didgeridoo. I have included the other musicians in the drawing with their hands: Tyler […]

View post →It is always interesting to me to see the different personalities that rocks can take on, in different parts of the world. This painting reminds me of both a peaceful moment and a bittersweet memory. Funny how art made on location can carry so many thoughts and feelings. posted by Veronica

View post →As Despina pointed out so beautifully on Tuesday, this past weekend we were at Mystic Seaport with the Dalvero Academy. The seaport was so beautiful in the snow on Sunday, and it was so dreamlike to see the masts of the Charles W. Morgan, anchored at Chubb’s Wharf, peeking over the tops of the trees and […]
View post →I love parades. I love drawing them: So much excitement and fun, since there is usually great music involved. Dancing and drawing simultaneously is just about the best high I can imagine. Anyway, this is a drawing I made of a parade in MGM studios in DisneyWorld when I was a student, about a hundred […]

View post →I love drawing musician, especially jazz musicians. They get so lost in their music, the same way I get lost in the drawing. It’s a totally simpatico experience! Posted by Veronica
View post →I freely admit, I have a love/hate relationship with Chicago. Great city, great people, great architecture. So what’s the problem? It’s cold in Chicago. I mean, REALLY COLD! The “windy city” is so aptly named it’s amazing. I actually had to hold on to a street light to keep myself from being blown down the block like […]
View post →The Cook Islands is beyond any experience of rural I have ever had. There are two buses on this island: clockwise and counter-clockwise. Brilliant. posted by Veronica

View post →When visiting Amsterdam for the first time last August with my husband Neil, I thought that looking for windmills would be asking too much. And yet, there is was! The fact that it was pouring rain at the time did not deter my excitement at making this drawing of what, to me, is a quintessential […]

View post →Since so many people are busy today with food shopping and cooking, in preparation for the holidays, I thought this drawing of a vegetable stand in San Francisco’s Chinatown would be appropriate to post. Enjoy the holidays everyone, and blessings in the New Year. posted by Veronica
View post →Here is another pastel drawing I made while visiting Sedona with fellow 1482-er Margaret Hurst a few years ago. What a gorgeous place – the landscape is so beautiful you almost can’t believe it’s real! There are supposedly areas in Sedona called ‘vortexes’ where you can feel some kind of gravitational pull of the Earth. […]

View post →New Orleans is really a romantic city – the jazz music, the voodoo vibe, the paddle boats, the wrought iron architecture and of course, the horse & carriages that are all over the city. The sound of horse hooves clomping down the cobblestone streets (I forgot that in the list!) really adds to the atmosphere. […]
