Art auction

The Bisbee Fine Arts Council is having their annual art auction tomorrow and I have donated a piece to the organization. I can't wait to see if it will sell and for what amount. I set a price of $165.00. It is a framed piece - the photo is a 12x18 print and I framed it in an 18x22 mat black metal frame with a blackcore photogrey mat. I set it up as a bottom weighted mat and I think it looks very nice.

Seeing as I will be unemployed in the near future this is a bit of a test to see what the reception is for this photo. I am thinking of working the farmers market this summer to see if I can make some pocket money selling matted prints, greeting cards. and postcards. I am also hoping it will bring me some contacts for custom framing. If I can make a 100 bucks a week I can manage for about 6 months on my savings before I have to get back to work. The opportunity to take a break and spend some real time taking photographs is too enticing to resist.



This is the photo I put in the auction. Wish me luck!
