Working Artists....?

What do you do with your unsold pieces?

I have a few pieces that just haven't sold. I like them, although they don't fit with the decor of my house so I am not sure where I could put them and since my house doesn't have a studio I can't hang them there.

So what do you do with the unsold pieces? Store them? Paint over them?

    photograh them so just in case for future use, you can make prints, then paint over them.

    Surely, my friend (he said obsequiently), it depends on the power of the pieces. Do they say anything new? anything there you couldnt do again? If we artists just painted only what we love to see, there would be no problem, we would love it all! I dunno mate, its a hard one, i burnt a load once, now i look at the photos and think, damn, wish i didnt do that! Although it has worked for some famous artist. There are as many ways of seeing the universe as there are people so i guess maybe you are the only one who can answer the question!or anyother question really...you, the unknown world out there, i live in this tiny little world of looking after a disabled person and shopping and walking our real thick dog, actually that dosnt sound so bad does it? forget i said that.

    Give them as gifts to friends and family.

    You could even see if hospitals, nursing homes etc would like them.

    if you haven't tried it yet, www.etsy.com is an Ebay like site that sells only artwork. You could give it a try.

    YOU DONATE THEM TO CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS HOSPITALS, THEY WRITE THEM OFF AND SO CAN YOU. OF COURSE THIS IS CONSIDERING THAT A HOSPITAL WILL TAKE THEM......THERE ARE OTHER PLACES YOU CAN DONATE THEM AS WELL......TRY YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC RADIO STAION OR TELEVSION STATION.
