Hello everyone,
I decided after so many years of working in an office, that I wanted to work on my art and make a living at it...haha don't laugh, they say it can be done. I set up my web site, and finally got a couple paintings in a small gallery here in Ontario, Canada only after joining as a member. I have looked at other galleries and find some that you can send emails on line with a picture of some of your work, but a lot don't reply. What are other ways to get noticed, by the galleries, especially when you have no personal connections like I find a lot of people have. I live in a fairly small town now and do not know a lot of people, I grew up in Toronto, where there are so many options. If anyone can help I would love to hear some suggestions. Through the years I have sold about 25 paintings, all to family and friends, and they all think this is what I should be doing, but the last thing I did a couple weeks ago, was paint a picture on a rock for her garden.......can only sell that for so much...helppppp! lololo
