I love the phrase " you can't control if they like it, but you can control if they see it." Twice a year I have a yard sale that has a fine art section that is advertised as such. Since I sell most of my paintings during these yard sales, I've been contacted by two galleries, I dont have anything left for them to review..lol. .maybe next year

That was my next question. How do you get them to see it. Your fortunate to live in a place with lots of wealthy people. Getting people to see it is the hard part. Around here, if I tried to sell fresh, new work at a yard sale I would hear "how come that painting is 300 and this wrench is .30?". It's hard to get them to buy at an actual art show.
@roy40914 ай бұрын
@petersenesac8102 No sir, I do not live in a wealthy area nor an artistic one. The hard part for me when wanting to sell was asking myself, is my art good enough? Am I ready for failure and bad criticism? Once I was over the fear and accepting my fate good or bad, I had to figure out how to do it. Turned down by numerous local small town galleries, it gave me the motivation to try another route. One way to get people to you is a yard sale sign and separate open-air art gallery signs all over town a month in advance. I would walk into galleries during busy hours and tell people I hear there's going to be an open-air showing at this one place to pique their curiosity, and it worked. I sold (28) all but one painting. All my paintings were local landscapes very familiar to all the locals. I'm a plien air hobby painter. Hopefully, this helps, and I wish you all the best.

Oh my gosh I just adore you. You always make me smile. At PACE in Denver, I was so excited that you were giving a demonstration and I’d see you in person. Then I walked right by a bearded artist painting in the hallway outside the vendor area. After I got past, I thought ,’oh my gosh I think that was Ryan Jensen’. Then I was outside painting on one of the painting days and thus cleanly shaved guy came and asked me where everyone was and I gave some stupid answer and after he walked away ,again I thought, oh my gosh tgat was Ryan Jensen-he shaved his beard!’ Twice didn’t recognize you when you were right in front of me. Loved your demo there. Hope You’ll be at PACE this year near Reno.
