For those of you who do not have a blog, this would be an EXCELLENT place to dip your toe into the online world of art. Debbie and I, and I'm sure Nancy too, attribute more than 50% of our sales to online transactions.
To get accepted into online galleries, such as dailypainters.com, or dailypainteroriginals.com or dailypaintersoftexas.blogspot.com, you have to first have a blog where you post you newest paintings regularly.
Creating your own blog is really easy. The only skill you need to know is how to upload a photo. You should all be photographing your work as you complete it anyway. I create a new folder on my computer each year, and put the images there as I add more work.

| ROTHKO-1, 11035 |
I give each painting an inventory number. That Rothko demo painting is called "ROTHKO-1", 11035, meaning it was the 35th painting completed in 2011. The more you paint, the more important and inventory numbering system is. I have probably painted over 50 poppy paintings over the years. They're all called Poppy This or Poppy That.
When someone purchases a painting, the number system assures that we're talking about the same painting.
My blog is www.carolnelsonfineart.blogspot.com.
Thanks for sharing your inventory numbering system. Good info to have.
