Post Card Art by Marie

Joining Paint Party Friday with two small watercolors:

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.
This scene is Deschutes River Canyon on Crooked River Ranch, Oregon.  It is actually behind my property and down a steep hill!

This one shows The Three Sisters mountains, with a treeline in the foreground.

Here's what my table looked like...

  10. I am surprised there were no takers! Your artwork is exquisite! There's quite a postcard market out there right now. People send them to one another and have amazing collections.
