Previous: John James Audubon: Artist and Ornithologist.
Down the Ohio to New Orleans
When Audubon was finally released from jail, he went to work as a sidewalk artist, drawing portraits while customers waited for them. At this time he had no knowledge of painting in oils, only using as a medium water colors and pastels.
While doing these quick portraits his ability developed considerably. Since his wife was working as a teacher in Cincinnati, Ohio, Audubon felt that he could leave his wife for a time to draw all the birds of America, life-size.
In January of 1821, Audubon arrived in New Orleans. He didn't even have enough money to pay for a night's lodging. However, he was soon discovered by a lady of West Feliciana and was hired as tutor to her daughter. He stayed there for five months, returning to New Orleans with much of his finest work completed.

The Natchez Trace
His family joined him by the close of the year. But still living in poverty, he moved to Natchez in 1822, where he taught French, drawing, and dancing. His "delightful personality" won him friends everywhere. In Natchez his wife became a governess on a plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana. In order to support his family,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Audubon painted portraits, panels on riverboats, and even street signs.
class="dynamic">Audubon to Debtors' Prison
In 1810,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], John James Audubon and his family made a move down river to Redbank,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], now Henderson, Kentucky. However, this relocation did not help. Audubon had many more business failures and was sent to debtors' prison in 1819. The sheriff took everything he could lay his hands upon except Audubon's portfolio of bird drawings. The sheriff considered the drawings worthless.
Audubon the Sidewalk Artist
Beginning his artistic journey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Audubon set off down the Ohio River in a flatboat with a thirteen-year-old boy named Joseph Mason. It was Mason who rendered the floral decorations in most of the first hundred plates of Audubon's published work. Audubon also now began to keep a diary of his personal and ornithological adventures.
John James Audubon continues with To Liverpool and the Dakotas by Water: John James Audubon Listens to Bonaparte.
