| JEAN WEINER has begun painting small originals called ACEO’s (Art Cards Editions and Originals). | |
| They measure 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches, and have been selling well on E-Bay. She is able to do one per day, which is great painting exercise. She figured that even if they didn’t sell, they would make great “fillers” for shows, but sales have been really good. You can find them by searching j weiner on e-Bay or search ACEO original bird j weiner. You can also see Jean on Face Book (Jean M. Weiner). Take a lesson and try to explore other marketing experiences, even if they sound a little different than what you might prefer! |

 | DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF ART OUT THERE ….SOMEWHERE? Think you’re missing a painting or | |
| two? Start a log book of all the art you loan out, listing the dates, locations and contact persons. When you get it back, make a not of that too. That way you’ll always know where your work is. It can be done on computer, but make a hard copy to have available just in case. While you’re at it, develop an inventory system for your art using numbers and/or letters, possibly with your initials. List the medium, size and title or description. Put this number on the piece, and in your log. This reference can be very helpful when searching for things, especially if you have a large inventory. |
MOVING: Galleria Riverside is moving from Dillingham Place to the Bradley Park shopping area
