Many mistakenly believe an artist can succeed with artistic talent alone. But Eric Rhoads knows that there are many brilliant artists who will never be discovered and never sell any artwork. Eric Rhoads is an outdoor (plein air) landscape painter, a portrait artist, and the world's foremost art marketing expert, having guided thousands of artists to success. He has founded numerous companies, and marketed both products and art. Eric is publisher and founder of several influential and nationally distributed art magazines and newsletters, as well as popular conferences and events.Many of today's most brilliant artists remain unknown. Their plight is not new. Today, Vincent Van Gogh's works are in incredibly high demand; in fact, his portrait of Doctor Gachet recently sold for $82.5 million. But in his lifetime Van Gogh sold only two of his 2,000 works of art. Van Gogh truly was a starving artist.Ending the stereotype of the starving artist is this book's essential purpose. It is Eric Rhoads' mission that artists no longer suffer this fate. This book will unleash your inner marketer. Under Eric's guidance, you will learn timeless marketing techniques that will allow you to live your dreams, no matter how lofty and unobtainable you think they may be.

'An impressive debut, expertly researched and compelling narrated' - Patricia O'Reilly (The First Rose of Tralee)Love, art, and obsession, set between Nazi occupied Paris and rural Ireland. As the Germans advance on Paris in 1940, a young Jewish girl, Sylvie Vasseur, is sent by her father to rural Ireland to live with the Courtney family. He also sends his valuable art collection - including a portrait of Sylvie by the renowned Mateus, Girl on a Swing. Sylvia is seduced by the narcissistic elder son Nicholas Courtney when she is eighteen, but he abandons her when he discovers she is pregnant. To avoid the inevitable social stigma, Sylvie marries his brother Peter. In Dublin, she becomes involved in the art scene, achieving critical acclaim as a painter. But, trapped in a loveless marriage, she continues to be obsessed with Nicholas. Until, unexpectedly, secrets from her father's past emerge, leading her to question everything she once believed. Shortly after, she is found drowned on a Wexford beach. Seventeen years later, Claire Howard, struggling art historian, is hired by the Courtney family to record Sylvie's lifeworks. Fascinated by the artist and working with Sylvie's son Sam, Claire travels between Dublin and Paris, eventually unravelling a labyrinth of deceit and lies that threaten to endanger her life.
