In the last 2 weeks I've sold 34 pieces with 3 more pending. I'm averaging $96.50 each (which is of course cheap for a 36x48 original on canvas) but I'm self employed and need the income. I buy all…Continue

"Rick,
I’ve read your post and the responses to it and I’d say if your heart is in this project, just do it. Just do it. The country is gripped by utter madness right now, with blubbery good ole boys carrying semi automatic weapons in the…"

"wouldn't the same be true for yard sale signs, houses for sale signs, credit repair, etc? I did think about this though. I've picked out 8 spots that are on straightaways and three lanes each side. My son thinks its better at stoplights, I…"

"Same here. On the street could be a really bad idea. If there is a crash because of a distracted driver, you might be liable in some way."
Judy Christian replied to Rick Wallace's discussion Another crazy idea....
"No, I do not equate selling with respect. I wanted to let you know that asap because I don't mean to offend you.

"Rick, I am not sure that putting your art in unconventional places is a mitzvah. Very likely it is an extra burden on your community's sanitation workers who will be hauling it to a dump.

Rick Wallace replied to Rick Wallace's discussion Another crazy idea....
"Offhand it sounds like you equate selling as respecting. Sometimes doing for the sake of doing it, then letting it go can have it's own benefits. If you become attached to your art you might be thinking about it as some sort of…"

Judy Christian replied to Rick Wallace's discussion Another crazy idea....
"Peggy has good points. We artists work hard to get into the best shows so that the people who see our work will appreciate it. We know that only a select few have a desire to own our pieces, and that is even speaking about successful artists. …"
Peggy Crago replied to Rick Wallace's discussion Another crazy idea....

"I have always believed that art is meant to be shared. I get a lot of joy out of painting/drawing, and have no problem donating some of my art to the world. Museums have been closed and no art festivals. I guess this is my way of keeping art in the…"
