It reads: Tips for Artists Who Want to Sell Generally speaking, paintings with light colors sell more quickly than paintings with dark colors. Subjects that sell well: Madonna and child, landscapes, flower paintings, still lifes (free of morbid props___ dead birds, etc.), nudes, marine pictures, abstracts and surealism. Subject matter is important: It has been said that paintings with cows and hens in them will collect dust___ while the same paintings with bulls and roosters sell. Spike's piece here about her upcoming book release reminded me of that painting. Seth</p>
