I love getting together with other artists to paint on location. It gets the creative juices flowing and pushes me to look at a scene from a different viewpoint or try a new technique. I’m always inspired by the originality and creativity that flow from the most self-effacing people. I had a chance to meet […]

Santa Barbara Travel Journal – Part 1
The month of November usually conjures up images in my mind of dreary grey days, sodden brown leaves, wind, rain and sleet, but this year was different. As autumn gave way to wintry November, I found myself flying off to California for a 5-day workshop with a great group of painters. Happy painters at the […]

Croatia Travel Journal – Finished!
I finished up my 2019 Croatia travel journal a few months ago but never got around to posting the last few sketches, and, since I hate to leave things unfinished, I thought I’d wrap up this project with one last post. Our day on the little island of Vrnik was one of the best of […]
Sketches from Croatia – Part 7 – Žrnovo
More armchair travel from my Croatia trip last fall… Most of our day trips on the island of Korcula had been to seaside towns, but one day we traveled a few kilometers inland to the lost-in-time village of Žrnovo. Sketch of buildings in Žrnovo by Leslie Fehling Ink & watercolor, 7.5″ x 7.5″, in a handmade […]
Sketches from Croatia – Part 6 – Sketching in Orebic
We pulled away from Korcula one morning on a ferry bound for the mainland where we would be sketching in the seaside resort of Orebic. That day, everyone chose their own view to sketch, and I picked this pretty iron gate. The flowers drew me in. I loved the way the pink flowers played off […]
Sketches from Croatia – Part 5 – The Peaceful Village of Račišće
Are you ready for a getaway? Let’s escape to the island of Korcula in the Adriatic Sea, a place I visited last fall that seems like a dream now. Those days spent painting old stone buildings and aquamarine seas were among the happiest I can remember, and, over the past few months, I’ve been reliving […]
