Two weeks ago I had a table set up at the Farmers and Artisans Market on Crooked River Ranch to see if I could sell some of my paintings. But, no takers. Sometimes it takes a while to find your possible market. In the meantime, I thought I might be able to sell something smaller and less expensive. Our area attracts visitors, and we have many sites of interest to them. I did two post cards, roughly 4X6" (which is very small), of watercolor paintings of two places nearby, and I plan to do quite a few more....
I plan to pre-stamp them so the buyer won't have to make a trip to the post office, they can just drop them in a mailbox. I will sell them for $3.50 apiece.

ReplyDeleteMarie it can be difficult to sell art anywhere. Your idea of the post cards of your local area and putting the postage on them is a fantastic idea. The card are just beautiful. I had to look up where Crooked Ranch is. Have a beautiful day.
