How to make money out of painting deocrative pictures
The secret of selling this type of painting is to make it decorative. In other words a fashion item as well as the
remembrance of some pleasing experience. To do this I have deliberately made it a 'high key' painting. In other
words it has mostly light airy colors - though I do make sure the areas of contrast are there and catch the eye.
So the secret here is mostly presentation. A decent frame matched to the painting in a decorative and
unassuming manner (that way it will fit most homes). The painting is not designed to stop people in their tracks,
but to create an atmosphere wherein folk are comfortable and relaxed.
