Thank you to Maid of the Mist for your kindness to me through the years . I will remember fondly announcing 'it's Jacqueline the artist' and the sound of the security entrance opening, letting me into a wondrous world of painting at the base of the Falls...thanks especially to Tim and his office staff...end of an era. http://www.niagarafallsreview.ca/2013/10/24/farewell-maid-of-the-mist

Niagara Falls to Myrtle Beach - artworkshop for plein air painters

Niagara Falls to Myrtle Beach for plein air painter artworkshop is only 9 days away and counting.
Seems there's always a push at the end to get all my duck's in a row so the studio can function without me till I return.

And inevitably, I have to postone last minute studio requests which always happen to come in when I announce I'm going away for a week or so. Suddenly, everything is urgent. But, it usually works itself out and clients seems to be much more understanding that I'm not just leaving on holiday but, actually going away to work.

Workshops are exciting adventures, each one different, even though I've been to a location before. The biggest variable is the artists that come to my artworkshops.
I only have communication with most over the internet or by phone. I actually, in most cases, meet and work with them the first day of the workshop. This may seem unusual but, it's actually the norm over 90% of the time !

So, I continue to prepare for this next Niagara Falls to Myrtle Beach adventure.
Stay tuned.

The Truth About Starving Artists Sales - Niagara Falls Artist

The truth about those starving artists sales...

It's always been a sad joke amongst the art community when your local 'highway motel' hosts a 'starving artist' sale.

I set out to write an article but, first went online to see what was available for documentation.

What I found was this wonderful article that said it all...

http://www.drloriv.com/lectures/starvingartists.asp#world



well, almost all...

Being that these "original" art sales 'with nothing held back' occured frequently in my hometown in Utica in New York State, a fellow artist and I were head out for some plein air painting one morning and ran across one. WELLLLLL... we couldn't resist-

We walked in, looking around rather quickly, like we would be making a fast exit, which got the immediate attention of a fast talking salesman.

'Do you see something you like?' he asked. We replied yes but, how much would the painting be without the frame ?

They were selling 8x10 'paintings' framed for $10.00 !

He explained that he would have to charge us $7.00 for the painting, so we might as well just take the frame for the extra $3.00..

We replied "oh, we don't want the painting, we want the frame". And the look on his face had us cracking up all the way to the car !
