Where the Sky touches the Sea, © Angelique 2011

Sometimes one has to step in and do what needs to be done even if it is very uncomfortable... I hate confrontation I really do, but what I hate even more in un-professionalism...


This painting here  was on commission at a local frame shop, usual terms & conditions.


I am passing this shop quite regularly and noticed from the beginning that this painting was hanging skew and had no label or price attached although I supported this piece with 2 pages of information on me, the artist and the artwork.

So I approached the lady owner and discussed this matter, she agreed it would rectified.


Now for 3 weeks I had not been able to check on the painting so I was highly upset when on Sunday I saw that nothing at all had changed! The painting still hanging askew and no price and somewhere on the sideline...


I don't know how you would feel, but for me it was like a slap into my artist's face so to speak, just good it was weekend and I had time to calm down ;)



To cut a long story short, I have just collected my painting and also told her that not only am I disappointed but that it is in my opinion very bad business practise....


What would you have done?? Have you ever had similar experiences?


Well,  needless to say I will have my framework done somewhere else in future....


A lesson learned: Not only will I supply the documentation with my artwork but also the appropriate labels, which then only need to have the price added...
