I paint pet portraits on commission. At an art fair I wouldn't have anything to sell that day. Does anyone have any advice for me? I just participated in my first fair, an Art Walk in Austin, Texas. I brought framed copies of my portraits, talked to all the people, handed out flyers and business cards and collected email addresses, and even had a water bowl and dog treats. What else can I do to encourage business when everything I paint is individually commissioned and requires action from prospective buyers? Thanks for any help!

This is a recent commissioned painting I did. I am a painter of animals, mostly pets, and mostly dogs. I maintain a full-time blog at http://dottiedracos.blogspot.com/, and my website is http://www.dottiedracos.com. Currently, I live in the Pacific Northwest, Oregon; but I'll soon be moving at least temporarily to Florida.
