We went on a cruise this year and they have these art auctions, guess the price, guess the weight, and art trivia contests. My 9 year old was interested and it seemed a good thing to encourage. We had already discussed several times that most things on a cruise are just trying to separate you from more of your money. Of course a lot of what they are selling is Kincaid and they are all “hand embellished giclee’s”, I.e. ink jet prints that someone painted a few strokes on, for thousands of dollars.
And…. she really liked the Kincaid paintings. Arrgggh. Need to figure out how to gracefully steer her away from kincaid while still nurturing the interest in art. Maybe try to go to a local art festival or gallery. someday research kincaid together to understand why what she likes is kind of a scam.
