Art Travels to Vietnam and Cambodia

~ Art Found ~ Leave a comment

It’s been a while since I have given updates, but Found This Art remains busy, busy busy! Art has recently been dropped in northern Canada, as well as the historic seaside village of Lunenberg, in Nova Scotia, and in hotel lobby in a small town in New Brunswick.

I also managed to find a friend who was travelling to Far Away Places, including Vietnam and Cambodia. Let’s call this friend of mine Clara (which may or may not be her real name!). Clara recently sent me some photos of the places some art was dropped:

A fishy scene.

This was in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), at a cafe. I just love how Clara had the fish peek out from behind the vase. Here’s the original, if you are interested to see what it looks like:

Clara also left a very small piece in the lobby of a hostel in Siem Reap, in Cambodia. Can you find it in the photo below?

This piece is just done with ink, and is perhaps 3-4 inches long and less than an inch in width; here’s the original:

A whale, a spider, a person, a rabbit, and a crow. Just because.

Clara has a few other pieces tucked in her backpack, so you will have to wait and see what other amazing places she visit. Thank you, Clara, for helping with this project! It’s great to have friends like you, and I know people will find the art, and it will bring them joy.

Animals to share

While snow blankets my yard outside, the paint brushes have been busy in the studio! It’s been a month of creativity – in addition to this project, I am working on some other fun things – they too involve pen and ink with splashes of colour. I’ve been still on an ‘animal’ theme of late, such as this Heron (magnificent birds!!)

And I’ve also been playing around more with just ink. You can say and do a lot with just black and white! This sheep, I find, has a pretty serious look, don’t you think?

So 2022 looks to be a great year for this project – I have some plans all sorted out, and I am pleased to report that about 65 art pieces were distributed in 2021, well above the one per week that was my original goal.

I hope you are well! Please take care of yourself and the ones you love. Let’s let compassion and kindness prevail, and I tend to think this is helped with art and creativity. Maybe you’ll pick up a pen and sketchbook? Send me some examples of YOUR art! (You can reach me by emailing FoundThisArt@gmail.com.
