Most sitters are female because most parents feel more comfortable leaving their kids with a strange woman than with a strange man. I'm surprised he didn't mention this. OK, seriously?

I made my own canvas strechers out of scrap wood at my dad's house. I assembled mini painting canvas. I made small paintings of farm scenes. I sold each of them from $55 (5"x6") to $25 (4"x3"). I sold 10 @ $55 and 11 @ $25 at the local open studios art walk in Boston. $825. I was scared to ask for those prices and I was very afraid no one would buy my work. I have sold everything! $825 in my pocket. Why didn't I do this before? I went out and bought some canvas and oil paints $50 it seemed like a lot of money.
