The Empire State Building was blue on Saturday night – I had to draw it. For a good many years of my adult life, I’ve lived within view of the Empire State Building. She has become a kind of presence for me, a guardian spirit. When I saw her shining blue light it made me […]

View post →A sweet little pink building at Mystic Seaport. I made this watercolor about 24 hours before Hurricane Sandy hit. Hope the little building is OK. posted by Veronica
View post →The weekend before Hurricane Sandy hit New York (about 6 months ago, it seems) Margaret and I took a group of Dalvero Academy artists up to Mystic Seaport for a weekend reportage workshop. What beautiful colors! It was so nice to steal an hour to sit with Marg and just paint the beauty we saw. […]
View post →In response to Hurricane Sandy’s devastating effects on the New York and New Jersey area, the illustrators of Studio 1482 have each created a print of one of their favorite New York City images to raise money for the displaced victims of the storm. For each donation of $50 or more, you will receive a […]
View post →Hurricane Sandy has blown through and taken a beating on my beloved New York City. This was the scene at Avenue D and 11th Street on Friday morning, it looked like a refugee camp. People lined up for a hot meal, food, blankets, diapers, anything you could need. Local fire hydrants were opened up and […]

View post →Been busier than ever this fall, it’s nice to stop and think about a wonderful summer a few years ago. I spent time in Barcelona drawing such things as the Sagrada Familia (above) and then Neil met me and after a nice long visit in Barcelona we went to Paris. Where he proposed. 🙂 That […]

View post →This past August, Margaret and I conducted our semi-annual class at Disney World in Orlando. GREAT place to draw and learn! One of the things everyone must draw is the Electric Light Parade, a beautiful Disney spectacle. I drew these two young girls while we were all waiting for the parade to begin on Main […]
View post →On my recent trip to Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, I met many wonderful people. Some were from the Urban Sketchers community; others lived in the city. Papito, above, was one of the nicest. I was drawing in his botanica in the Mercado, and he brought me a seat. So sweet! Once I finished […]
View post →In honor of the end of summer, here is a drawing of some wildflowers I did last year in California’s Napa Valley. So ephemeral and so tough at the same time – lovely. posted by Veronica
View post →Thought I’d follow the trend set by Despina and Margaret – – – here is my portrait of Lapin drawing Rosa Lee at the Highline in NYC: See more drawings of the day on Urban Sketchers HERE. Posted by Veronica Lawlor.
View post →On the heels of Despina’s post from yesterday, this is a drawing of Lapin on the High Line in New York city. Veronica Lawlor invited Urban Sketchers to join her and Lapin and his lovely wife and daughter to come draw. Ironically, when I looked out to draw all I could see was Lapin sitting […]

View post →As Margaret mentioned in last week’s post, she, Despina and I spent an afternoon together recently, doing some drawings in Times Square. The place was loaded with tourists, all craning their necks and popping their heads around to see all the hoopla that is the crossroads of the busiest city in America. Political protests, naked […]
View post →Another drawing from Parque Colon, Santo Domingo. This of a Dominican woman and her daughter. The people in Santo Domingo were definitely the best part of the city, which says a lot because the Colonial Zone felt architecturally like Seville, one of my favorite cities! Please visit my blog for more drawings of the people […]
View post →Just returned from the 3rd Annual Urban Sketchers Symposium, held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. What a lovely event! And a special thanks to Orling Dominguez for arranging such a wonderful experience in her country. : ) The drawing above is of Calle Conde, about two blocks from our hotel. I will be posting more […]
