L Swearengin Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I picked up some mini picture frames at Hobby Lobby, when I got them home and opened they were NOT what I expected. I asked my granddaughter (the one that just got her house) if she could paint on such a tiny canvas. She said she liked a challenge............................. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L Swearengin Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 I know I am her grandma, but she is AWESOME there are her paintings all over my son's house. Truly a blessed girl. Question???? Would any of this community BUY a painting IF they were available? (ps she is a high school student and works, art is her passion, not income, I am just curious) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yes most likely. There are a lot of artists that sell their painting on eBay and Etsy. You might want to do a little research to see what those people are doing. Some of them make a few bucks per painting, but some make quite a lot. She should go for it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 One of DH's & my guilty pleasures is going to art shows featuring the work of highschool students and younger; there is SO much talent budding out there that the cutting of funding for art programs in the public schools is stomping on! Your granddaughter has some serious talent! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rackey Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Your granddaughter wasn't kidding when she said she liked a challenge, and you weren't kidding when you said this oops had an awesome ending! To answer your question, yes, I would definitely buy one of her paintings, provided they are in my budget. I imagine she could get a lot for these.

Bex Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) These are awesome. How much is she selling them for? I would have to know how much they'd go for to know if I'd be able to get one. Money's notan issue. LOL. ;) Edited May 19, 2014 by Bex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Your granddaughter met her challenge and then some! I did a quick search on Etsy for miniature painting and found a number of artists offering work of varying accomplishment. Check out the link to get an idea of the marketplace and pricing. Your granddaughter's work measures up to the best of them. :thumb: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Swearengin Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 She hasn't decided IF she wants to sell any. I was just wondering. I will talk to her and IF she wants to sell I will let anyone that is really interested know by message. Thank you all for your input.

KathieB Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Lawanda, if she wants to sell, you might post in the Community Trading Post link to let us know. Some folks who may want to own one of her pictures may not have read this thread. Although you can't post prices in this forum, you may want to include a link to a website where the paintings can be seen and ordered. Look into an Etsy site. It's not very complicated to set up and the fees are minimal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Swearengin Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks. She has to get out of school for the year firs. SNOW days, delayed their summer. I went to the new HL last night (so sad HAHA) and they didn't have the little canvases. The guy in that department said they were on order. If she is really interested in the idea Grandma will buy her canvases. Just because that's what I do. No personal gain here. I have one of her real life size paintings and it makes me very happy. IF she does decide, I will put up something in the trading section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
