A simple drawing I did in the Medieval Sculpture Hall at the  Metropolitan Museum of Art. If you haven’t been there to see the adorned galleries during the Holiday season, I  HIGHLY RECOMMEND you put it on your list of “life time to-do’s”. – Michele Quote by Elie Wiesel

View post →The studio’s been in existence since 2004. It’s hard to believe this is our 10th Anniversary. Although we all knew each other prior to, the past 10 years has made us a family unit that eat together, draw together, laugh when things are funny and cry when things hurt. This week one of us has […]

Today for most countries the official day of celebration was marked 3 days ago. It’s a symbol of renewal and an opportunity to plant new […]

View post →First, for those who were there yesterday, it was not cold. Actually, yesterday was a day at the beach. As those who were there the first time, cold was four years ago. That was the coldest day on earth that I have ever been outside. I swear. On two bibles if necessary. Yesterday, I got […]

View post → Another portrait from a golden day at Mystic Seaport this past spring. While that good ol’ salt of the earth kinda guy I shared with you last week tended his dogwatch singing those beautiful shanty tales he was accompanied by a seamstress who (like I) couldn’t get enough of the treasured moment, Michele
