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.

Chongquin China

 

What a view

hotpot meal
My sister is on a long trip to Asia and sent a photo from Chongqing China where they had a hotpot meal at a restaurant at the top of a hill. I was amazed at the view from the restaurant while they were dining.

Hotpot is where you cook all your food on a grill.
