'pokes head in and spies the painting' ohhh pretty..

Oh migosh! OH MY GOSH~~!
It is awesome! Very pretty and dreamy. I love snow scenes~
It does look huge...
the little pink bushes are adorable~ <33
By the way, where you keep all your finish pieces?

[178]

... in storage until someone buys it. you wanna buy it?

Can't afford the shipping... x.x
I don't like to get physical art... taking up space... x.x
Odd for an art lover to say, heh?

[179]

yup. ill try to sell it to someone nearby.

Able to earn a living out of it?
What oil paint BSWW use?

winston and newton. and no i am not able to make a living.. yet... maybe one day... but this is not that day

That is one grand brand, isn't that costly?
I hope you would get there one day and I can tell people I have a artist friend that sells art for thousands if not millions of dolalrs~ *snob*

i dont know... kinda... its more like mid range. it needs to be thick though or else it doesnt work... and the cheaper ones are too thin.

yeah... i want to be that friend that people have that sells million dollar paintings. but so far, the most i got for a painting was $300. and that was only once. right now im having a hard tell selling any for $80. the problem is that i dont know any millionaires. im sure if i did, they would buy one of my paintings.

Is it because of the bad economy around?
My country's currency is falling. terribly.

I am interested to know how you market yourself?
That is never my strong point.

It's still snowing outside. I really hope some of the sidewalks get cleared off before I have to leave for work tonight. I'm hoping the snow will stop soon

I didn't even spot a Hummy! :(
Just as elusive as a Hummybird~

As fate have it... it won't let you two be together easily.

well i have had my stuff in a cafe, and i had my stuff in a gallery for a month. in march in going to have my stuff in the library. in august of last yea i put on my own showing which went fairly well. the problem is that its just my friends that are buying my stuff... there is hardly a random person who wants to buy my art. art is just not something our culture really support financially.

the economy here is alright i guess. but everyone is paranoid about it failing all the time. and everyone is in debt and the housing market is the worst... its so expensive for no reason at all! i cant figure it out. average home in my city: $500,000. seriously. average income: $30,000 a year. do the math, no one can afford that.

mostly when is comes to marketing myself, i just sell it as is. i show people because people like to see it, then i ask if they wanna buy it. super simple. i show and ask just about everyone i meet too. maybe you could try that?

Thank you for the tips~
Ever consider doing prints? For me, print is more affordable and space saving... x.x I am just plain greedy and stingy.
