Fortunately I was inducted into the HistoryMakers a couple of years ago and was interviewed for 9 hours over a two day period. That took care of over 70 years of my life, (the first half). Let's see what the future holds worth talking about......Peace

Thomas, if you find out how to move large quantities of art...LET ME KNOW TOO!!! The only artist I know that sold a large quantity was one on the Tom Joiner cruise and it was a captured audience (not to mention by invite only). Corporate is another avenue that requires much marketing but the payoff is good. They purchase in quantities. Visual art is just not taken as important as Entertainment art, how to change that attitude is beyond me.

Marcella has presented a daunting task! I may speak my history via recording my thoughts.
I still want to bring to light an issue I continue to deal with, ie.. How do we sell our art?
I want to move a large number of paintings and seek a venue!
Give me some ideas peeps!

Thanks for bringing this up Marcella I've been intending to do just that for a long time. I just had a birthday, I think now would be good time for me to start.
