Cause for celebration! Tonight I posted my first listing on ebay - a small painting for sale. This means I have a basic format worked out for listing more paintings, so from now on it shouldn't take 1,250 hours to post one. OK, maybe that's a slight exaggeration....
Here's the first painting, a small 8x10" acrylic painting on canvas, called Whoosh! It's sold unframed, but ready to hang because the canvas is "gallery wrapped" (smooth sided, stapled only on the back) with all four edges painted. This is how it might look if the buyer chose to frame it:
The full description, of course, with more photos and links to large photos, is in the listing at ebay. Your feedback and suggestions on my listing would be most welcome.
My plan is to keep listing a painting or two most days. Now I'll feel free to start painting more canvases. I have lots of ideas to try.
I couldn't have done this without the help I got from the Internet Sales Strategies Forum at Wet Canvas. There are some real experts there, plus lots of beginners like me who asked questions I didn't even know enough to ask. Most of all, the people at Wet Canvas are so encouraging.
