A Business Tip for Artists

September 29, 2010 by WendyB

Here’s how to sell a painting in two easy steps.

1. Find a picture of a person with her dog on Facebook.

WendyB and Gigi

2. Paint it.

Seriously, how could I resist? If you want your portrait painted by Fifi Flowers, contact her via her website.

    Hahaha – so true! And that is one awfully cute puppy! Funny that my anti-spam word is “kittehs.” I always get such weirdly relevant ones.

    So adorable!

    It’s a good plan, this business plot of Fifi’s. I could personally keep her in business forever.

    I used to have a dog named Molly who was the love of my life and looked just like your baby. I miss mine so much. I loved seeing this photo and painting, LOL.

    Awww, there is nothing like having a painting of you and your adored pet! I’ve got a cherished painting of my big guy cat, now sadly deceased, and it makes me smile every morning.
