The poor guy’s been getting a lot of flack here in the NE coast these days. Thought I’d give him a shout out. We’ve been having a snowy winter and people are complaining. What an ungrateful, whiny bunch! Hey, myself included. I just CANNOT WAIT for the Spring, and more importantly, the Summer! If it […]
View post →A holiday that baffles me, I guess because of its origins and popularity. But it’s for love, and I’m all for that. This is from a project about the marriage of Peleus and Thetis. In Greek mythology, it is one of the many events that got the Trojan War rolling. Aah, the power of love! […]
View post →Darwin. What a guy. From a few years back, an editorial piece on the subject of Evolution.
View post →This time around was quite different! The Rose Theatre couldn’t be more different from Dizzy’s. A whole other experience. It was great. The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra led by Wynton Marsalis put on such a beautiful show. And all along, projected onto jumbo screens above the orchestra, was a slideshow of some of the most […]
View post →Yes, that means that there will be a second night! I am so excited to go back and draw some more music! But for now, here’s a few drawings I made at Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, at Jazz at Lincoln Center. It was dark, the city skyline was the backdrop, and the music was so […]

View post →If you google World Peace Day, you’ll find that there are two dates listed as the “official” days to promote peace on earth. I’m not really sure which one is right, but I’m all for having as many peace days as possible.

View post →First day of fall was a couple of days ago, but I decided to post my drawings from the Summer on that day, as a way of saying goodbye, see ya next year. So here is my illustration Fall.

On this blog I will post drawings I made in CRETE. My husband Greg and I also visited the island of Santorini. To see the drawings I made on that unbelievably BEAUTIFUL island, come visit onedrawingaday.com. Most of my month’s stay in Greece this summer was spent on my mother’s native island of Kriti. Crete.

View post →Today is the great author’s birthday. Here is a drawing I once made while thinking about The Time Machine.
View post →This past Sunday was Grandparents Day. I’m very surprised this holiday hasn’t become super popular yet.
View post →Every year on this day we all remember. After watching the ceremonies on TV, and hurting for all those whose lives were changed on that day, I always go back to thinking of one thing. Terrorism. I think about what it means, who it is, why it is and most of all how? How can […]
View post →So, as you’ve maybe noticed, most international holidays are just that, holy-days. Today in Spain, and many other countries, is the day to celebrate St. James. Again, I did some quick research and found some fascinating things. St. James was, among other things, a pilgrim. The symbol for pilgrims and people with no permanent home […]
View post →Today is our National Hot Dog Day. Not sure if the contest at Coney Island falls on the same day, but I think it should. I’ll go check it out after I post this. Anyhow, here’s a fun poster idea. Grab a hot dog today! OR if you are watching your figure and/or can’t make […]

View post →July 10th is El Cid Day. The great campeador! It’s interesting to post this right after the Lotus Temple post, because El Cid represents much of the war and violence that often happens in the name of religion. However, I hear he was very good at what he did.
View post →Back to my Earth Calendar. Today is a special day for the people of the Baha’i faith. The mission of the Baha’i is is to spiritually unify all the people and all religions of the world. Although painfully idealistic,that’s something I truly believe in myself! The temples of the Baha’i are really something. The most […]
View post →Today, of course is Independence Day for the U.S.A. It’s a day for BBQ’s, clambakes, fireworks and loungechairs. Except for the clambake, I’ve done it all this extended holiday weekend. Greg and I even got the chance to go out drawing again. We went to one of our favorite spots, Rockefeller Center. There was no […]
View post →Today the is the Festival of Cerridwen. She is a medieval Welsh enchantress, goddess of fertility, wisdom, and everything feminine. My favorite of her many gifts is her ability to shapeshift. She is also known as the “White Sow”, and is associated with the color turquiose.
View post →Today is Flag Day in Curacao and it’s also Salvation Army Founders Day. I thought it would be cool to combine the two for today’s sketch. And so…a new flag that shows the act of giving and receiving:
