How do you pursuade the public to buy original art that is a bargain?

The Marion SC exhibition this year, was again, a great display of high quality art. Experienced MAG exhibitors and new members combined successfully for a very diverse collection of stunning and thought provoking original images. Unfortunately sales were way down in numbers reflecting the current economy.

I sold two small pieces shown here. The Magpie was $35, the teenage camel, $65. We did not sell many beautifull, bargain priced pieces, from all our artists. Has the time come to attempt selling on-line!!!?????

‘Watchfull Magpie’, brush and ink, 200 x 150 mm, SOLD

‘Whatdoyermean..the last straw’, acrylic on canvas, 150 x 150 mm, SOLD
