This is a painting I did with some great moms who asked me to have a watercolor class for them. I really like the subject matter and (by some accident) felt it turned out pretty well and had it framed. It has been hanging in our spec house and even though I have a great place for it I think I am finally ready to sell it. The frame has a bit of a rustic look and has the little bumps along the inside of the frame somewhat like the French dinnerware you sometimes see. I have another painting waiting to be framed so I want to sell one to make wall space. I have not sold many paintings so do not really know what to charge. It is 21"x 28" with the custom frame. I thought I would offer it here first for friends and family. I would be happy with $500.00 but feel free to make me an offer. It is painted on archival watercolor paper with professional quality paints and placed behind glass coated with UV protection. Thanks for looking!

One reason I admire your blog so much is because of the art content. I painted in college and have been wanting to get back to it.
I love this painting. 11 years ago, my sister lost her baby at 8 1/2 months during her pregnancy. Apple candles similar to these were shown in the MSL magazine that month and I had three of them on the table, burning, when I heard about the baby's death. So I'm always reminded of my nephew Brandon when I see them.
I'd love to take a painting class with you... this is beautiful work.
Oh Yes...it is time to sell what you are so talented at! You just keep those beautiful paintings coming. If I had a kitchen that had walls it would be a wonderful piece! The rounded wall would not hold such a piece! Wade suggests Ebay for selling.
Lainey,
I was trying to find your email address but I don't see a link for email anywhere. This is a fantastic painting. I didn't realize you were a painter also. I would tell you a painting of this quality and framed is easily worth $500. Ebay can be good sometimes. I would tell you to start your auction at a price you will be happy with and if it sells for more then it is a bonus. Do you paint regularly? I really like this one.
Thank you for the encouragement everyone, I have not sold to anyone other than friends who have stopped by and saw something they liked or a few comissioned paintings/drawings. I really appreciate your input Darren since you have a successful buisness selling your art (which I admire so much!) I do not get to paint very often so I cannot really make a business out of it at this point but someday....who knows? I sure do enjoy doing it! I will try to figure out how to get my email on here.
