Quality Framing and Trouble

I had to stop my association with my framer which was a major drag.  I said two things actually. One is that I feel that continuing to put money into professional framing is not only time consuming and hindering my ongoing fight with poverty. Two, I feel that there has been a backlash against the actual quality work of the framer.  There has always been some bad feeling for the gallery concerning the fact that it is on the floor I live on which is not necessarily of the same religious persuasion of the congregation that owns and runs it. It might be that the excellent work that has been done is a bone of contention to some significant players in the place. That was one thing For some reason, not too long after the conversation and final association with the said framer I was contacted by a good and qualified patron of the arts who was terminally ill.  She had painstakingly collected some very important magazines throughout her life and being enamored of them kept them...

A Good Exhibition: but the Wrong Kind of Art

I met a couple of art specialists and we were discussing the major problem with my art which is I have zero income. That includes my exhibition in the residence I live in. This exhibition has been very much instrumental in upgrading the clientele and the reputation of the house.  However, it has been years I have been working on it and there has been a lot of time and money spent on it with no income. time is passing and I am growing older.  I wondered why and the first thing I came up with is that I knew quite clearly that the work I was exhibiting was not of the kind that was commonly taken as "serious" in prestigious homes and exhibitions that I saw.  Since I had no money I knew that my place to get that kind of art would be in quality prints, more specifically old books found in thrift shops and the like. But a better opportunity would come up. For some reason, not too long after the conversation with the specialists, I was contacted by a good and qualified patron o...

My country house 2

Image
Update: 9-9-12 According to my brother, the property is off Lac Ludger. Lac Ludger is connected to Lake Cardin. It is not off Grand Lac Long which is what I had thought the name of the lake was when I lived there. Grand Lac Long does exist but somewhere else in the Laurentian Mountain Range.  I think the property listed has a good possibility to be the place where I spent my time in the summer because it is in the vicinity of both the B'nai Brith Camp (which is still there according to the map) as well as Lac BrulĂ©. I have been having a bit of difficulty finding out about the estate I am supposed to have inherited from my parents.  One document I got pretty fast was the coordinates of the country house I spent my summer and weekends in as a child and young adult. I have never had a clear idea of the address when I lived there but on the document, I got some coordinates of the place. I checked it out on Google maps. and I don't understand the results.  So I am going to ...
