SITAR New Month

 Welcome to

I have had a lot of questions about SITAR and what it's about. It's about ANYTHING art. Your art, someone else's art, writing, photography, the art of cooking, the art of sewing and textiles. Sharing historical art, street art, a story about art. Do you have a question or need help with art? Write a blog post and link it up here. We will all try to help with it. My only rule is that if someone asks for critique 

it must be done with generosity and consideration. 

This is a place of encouragement and inspiration.

 

OK, now that that's out of the way. 

I have something very special to share today. I think it's special. Some of you know my good friend Luiz Gomes. He lives in Brazil and for many, many years has been sharing the beauty of his country and the art that has been and is being created there. More than several years ago, and honestly I can't remember the date, I drew a portrait of Luiz. 

I look at this now and see all of my lack of knowledge in drawing. However, the likeness from the photo is spot on. I've been blessed with that ability. I have to work hard on the rest of it. LOL

Today, is not about my portrait of Luiz, rather the art that he shares on his blog.

He's such a cool guy. 

Luiz is a professor, and he likes beaches, waterfalls, caves and making trails in the midst of nature. He did tell me he hasn't done that in awhile due to time constraints. You can find his love for nature in older posts on his blog. Luiz, also enjoys Cultural Centers, Museums, and Urban Art. He has be featuring the most exquisite art and museum exhibitions. 

Here are just a few photos to peek your interest to visit Luiz. These are all from different posts.

 Each post has a host of art photos that I know you will enjoy along with descriptions.

Here is another photo of Luiz.

 Here Luiz sits at a desk in the City Hall of the historic city, of Mariana in the state of  Minas Gerais, which is 329 years old. 

That's it for now. I look forward to seeing you in Sunday in the Art Room
