I appreciate your sharing this with us. It gives me a glimpse into what I may be able to do some time down the road. Congratulations on your awards. I love your paintings, so I am not suprised at all.

Thanks ladies!

With my little bit of experience I will have to add - I wouldnt do any competitions if I sold everything I painted in a reasonable time or if I had commissions all the time. It's a lot to keep track of - scheduling, shipping dates, etc... But - as a marketing tool it has been useful so far. It has worked far better than standing on the corner with a sign.
