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 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 […]
