Somewhat by chance, during my last trip to Montreal, I meet and saw the paintings of Claude Le Blanc. The wife and I found him and some of his SENTIERS work to be very captivating.

That said, what really caught my attention was something I have never seen before. On the little cards that accompanied his work (listing title and cost), was a fascinating idea - in addition to the cost of the painting, there were listed 2 payment options: 6 and 12 month payment plans.

Imagine that, art on the payment plan. What a great idea.

Several of his paintings that we really liked were in the $2K range (give or take a bit) and truth be told, we have never purchased (outright) a piece of art in that price range. However, when considering art in that range, it becomes a lot more palatable to the pocketbook when thought of in terms of, say, $200/month x 12 months.
