Sunday Smiles and SITAR - Baby Pangolin and a newcomer's success in $2 art

 

Sunday Smiles

SITAR



Welcome to Sunday Smiles and SITAR.  I am featuring a baby pangolin ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil along with a fun pangolin fact above.

There was an interesting article in the newspaper and I thought it would be perfect to share on SITAR. This architect turned artist (originally from England) finds success in $2 art which she sells through mini vending machines across the city. Her art features her favourite spots across the city with her focus on community and accessibility.

Oh, such a cute baby - would love to see one for real! And 2-art sounds a bit like Wendy Binks - her art is affordable, too! I have so much here, hence!

That baby pangolin drawing is just precious, and those little watercolor details really bring it to life on such a small canvas. It is wonderful to hear about that architect finding a new calling with those vending machines; making art accessible to everyone for just two dollars is a lovely way to build community. Seeing a newcomer find such unique success definitely brings a smile to my face this Sunday.

I have never seen a Pangolin. They are so cute and your art is perfect and a find tribute for them. Wow!!!! This woman made her art accessible in the most ingenious way. Rejection can cause artist in any venue quit. She snubbed her nose at those who said no and came up with an ingenious way to sell her art. Good for her and I hope she sells them all. Thank you for sharing with SITAR and have a lovely Sunday.

Poor little Pangolins. They are sweet and somehow man finds a way of destroying everything. As for Gemma ... her art is in the form of stamps. I don't know if they can actually be used to mail letters, but they are beautiful, and a great find for a collector. Awesome, interesting, post, Christine :)
