View post →Some more flowers from the Emily Dickinson garden at the Bronx Botanical Garden. I think they were some type of violets. Who can’t love violets? – Veronica
View post →Saw this T’ai Chi master leading a class in a park in Queens, New York. He was here from China for a few weeks. Queens is the most international city in the United States, so it didn’t surprise me to see him there. Even though he moved very slowly, he moved very quickly as well. […]
View post →As Margaret wrote in her post last week and yesterday, she and I spent a lovely and long overdue day together drawing and enjoying Spring at the Bronx Botanical Garden. We did go through the Emily Dickinson exhibit. Her garden was beautiful, and as Marg wrote last week, I was immediately drawn to the poppies. […]
View post →I recently had the opportunity to draw from a terrace on the 47th floor of a downtown New York City building – talk about getting dizzy. But what an exhilarating experience! – Veronica
View post →My friend Ronnie and I made a spontaneous visit to the NYBG on Friday. Â We haven’t gone out drawing together in a long time and so this was a wonderful day in many ways. Â The day was lovely, weather wise, and so even though there was an Emily Dickinson Garden theme at the Conservatory we […]
View post →Well, technically Earth Day was a few days ago (see Greg’s post HERE) but really, every day should be Earth Day, no? Like I wrote in the illustration, give to the Earth and She’ll give back. Let’s hope our governments start heeding that message. – Veronica
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 →Spring means lazy afternoons spent at the Bronx Botanical Gardens. Sit in the sun, paint a little, lie in the grass and sleep a little, wake up and paint some more. All the while the cherry blossom petals swirl around you. Oh yeah, I love spring. – Veronica
View post →Welcome spring! New growth, longer days, and buds on the trees. Good-bye snow, hello flip-flops! – Veronica
View post →This week (Tuesday) marked the end of Carnival 2010 in Venice. I love carnival and have done numerous drawings, paintings, silk designs, etc on this theme. Some of these works were exhibited at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization; most appropriately, since the history of Carnival goes back to ancient agricultural traditions. This illustration […]
View post →My book, September 11th, 2001: Words and Pictures, has just been published by vero press. The book is a first hand account, through my words and reportage drawings, of the events of September 11, 2001 and the weeks that followed in New York City. The drawing shown above is from the book, portraying police officers […]
View post →This drawing is titled, “Spirit”. I created it as a tribute to the courageous spirit of the people of Haiti. I will never forget the televised images of the Haitian people walking together through the damaged streets of Port-Au-Prince, singing and clapping together. Very moving. In response to the earthquake in Haiti, myself and the […]

View post →Following up with my recent Halloween parade post (parade) I thought I’d put up this drawing I made of the spectators. You can see, some of the people are watching the parade, some are watching the watchers, and some are having a cocktail party on the city bench. It’s really a relaxed, easy scene – […]
