Adventure of a Marginally Successful Musician - book review
American Contemporary plein air painter.
I met Bill in 2015 during this tour stop with Neil Diamond in upstate NY. I listened to some of his songs on the internet. The guy is multi talented. Just finished reading his book slice by slice. I've been an artist all my life, and always thought, an artist , is an artist, is an artist. I mean, we all 'kind of ' have the same creative and managerial problems, right ? Musicians are 'out there' all the time and as his books describes, they're team players, something I've never dealt with on a daily basis in my career.
I found inspirational gems in his book like, ' connecting with your subject in songwriting, relating to your subject, then transferring that emotion, having the song speak to someone else. I used some of his quotes in my workshop last week - they related so well to painting. We're all out there trying to find our own creative language to communicate better - Bill Cinque has found his...He comes across as entertainingly funny, and a humble guy, check him out. www.billcinque.com

Art Workshops Maine, Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake
American Contemporary plein air painter.
Every art workshop has something to offer. If you're beginner, you can find classes in local art and community centers. About 25 years ago, I taught some of these at an art center and the YWCA. When the art budgets in New York State began to be cut back, students continued with me at my private studio. I now do workshops in great locations like Niagara Falls, Florida, and a tiny island in Maine.

Niagara on the Lake, Ontario - oil painting
American Contemporary plein air painter.
This 6"x 6" x 3" oil painting of the Niagara on the Lake Cenotaph a well loved town icon, is available at the gallery this week $175.00 - no frame needed - the depth of this piece is a nice accent statement. It's been named by me a Spundulik (sbun doo leek) The idea for these tiny paintings was to give people a way to collect original art in a fun way.
The Spundulik is an art lovers hors d'oeuvre that likes to hang out in tiny spaces in your home or office. This original painting is sure to bring a smile to your face, each time you say...

The only way to stick with a New Year's resolution is
American Contemporary plein air painter.
Remember, the resolutions that you made for 2014 ?
Remember trying to hold on to them ?
Don't be ordinary - resolutions are what the ordinary people do for New Year.
Don't set yourself up to fail.
The feeling of 'why can't I stick with it - is what inevitably sticks with you instead.
So... what can you do ?
Find something that changes your thinking, just ONE thing' and you take that first step towards a changed 2015.
No resolutions, no promises, no bargains with God or the Devil ...we're not meant to be clean slates. Our lives are about memories - if you feel lost, turn around and reflect - if you feel happy, truly savor the moment and smile with gratitude. It's about just you and no one knows you or what motivates you better than you do.
