Good afternoon, Siem Reap and Beyond!

Today, we are pleased to share a stunning new work by artist Loun Lon (Salone).

The painting she created for FEAST is somewhat of a departure from her normal genre/pastoral works featuring the people and countryside scenes of Cambodia.

In this work, Salone depicts a highly unique rendition of a vegetable basket featuring lush vegetables native to Cambodia. Brilliant red bell peppers, root vegetables, eggplants and gourds all spill from the classic plastic straining bowl ubiquitous to the country.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
