About

Robert Leedy in Southlight Gallery“If I’m not painting, I’m typing.”

I began writing to combat creative block. It worked. What started as morning journals later developed into a secondary means of self-expression. Most of these selected writings were inspired by some event (usually humorous) during our travels abroad. Most are taken from emails I sent out frequently to a small audience (or, “fan base”, as I like to think.) These were not intended to be “serious” works; most were intended as a sort of log of our “adventures” and a means of keeping up with friends and family.

Many of these entries fall off the WordPress map as they go back a little further in time. I posted them with their original dates when I re-posted to WordPress, so they will not all show up in the archives’ listings but if you browse the categories, they are linkable by topic.

You may wonder about the frequent reference to the name, ‘Griswald’; this is the name Vicky & I jokingly gave ourselves as sort of ambassadors representing the notion of bumbling, culturally devoid, fashionly clueless, Americans in a foreign country.

I hope you enjoy what you see and read…

  1. Nice site redesign.
    A suggestion for your quote, “If I’m not painting I’m…talking, eating, or locked in the hallway!”

  2. Hi! I am doing family research and we maybe related. Is your Gene Leedy your father? If so, we are related. Gene is the cousin to my mom, Eileen Compton Fails, Robert Ferguson, Charles Ferguson,and the late James Ferguson. I heard long ago, Gene’s son lived in Ortega. I grew up in OP and my relatives tried to get me to contact him. I was too shy to call a boy. If you are not gene’s son, I apologize for the intrusion. If you are maybe we can meet sometime. My husband and I live on Eagle Bend Island near Amelia , but we both work in town. Take care Eleanor

    1. Eleanor, yes, Gene Leedy is my dad and I was the kid who lived in Ortega. Yes, we should meet sometime! Contact me via email through my website, http://www.robertleedyart.com – Thanks!
