If you paint a lot, as I do, the
paintings eventually start pushing up the rafters. You either have
to sell them, give them away, or burn them. I prefer to sell mine,
since that fills the bank account so I can make more paintings. But
sell them to whom?
I suspect most of my paintings either
go to other painters or to my students, or to older people who have
always bought paintings and still have the funds to continue to do
so. I suspect that the paintings aren't going to twenty-somethings
fresh out of college burdened by hefty school loans. I have some
other thoughts on the matter, which I will discuss in a future post.
I've put together a little survey I'd
love for you to take. Your responses will help me discover who's
buying today. (UPDATE: Survey is now closed!)
By the way, we had a good time last
week in the latest Paint Sedona workshop. Below are a few of the
sketches I did. They're all for sale. Let me know if you'd like one. (Shipping is $10, so if you buy several, you save!)
 |
| 9x12, oil. - $100 - From Uptown We had on iffy-weather day. This is the view out the window of the Uptown Sedona studio. |
 |
| 6x12, oil. - SOLD - Munds Mountain Vista There's nothing like Schnebly Hill for some good panoramas. |
 |
| 6x12, oil. - $75 - Thunder Mountain Vista I'm really liking these 6x12 pieces. Quicker to do than a 12x24, but they still give you the panorama. This one is looking down the ridge from Thunder Mountain to Coffee Pot and beyond. |
 |
| 5x7, oil. - $60 - Up the Canyon I like backlighting on the Sedona rocks. This is a view from the Sedona Heritage Museum. |
 |
| 6x9, pastel. - $60 - Camelhead Another Schnebly Hill view, looking toward Snoopy Rock and Camelhead. This is another backlit scene. |
 |
| 6x9, pastel. - $60 - Snow up the Canyon One day we headed up Schnebly Hill Road to the Cowpies area. There was still some snow up in the shadows. |
