Tirtha, beautiful poses of your mom and you when young. It has such meaning to it. And your latest piece has superb brightness thanks to the lovely dark trees on the left.
You could look at zazzle and etsy for doing prints and managing sales. You could go to your local shops and ask them to display your art for sale for a commision. This guy at oil pastel section produces a book of his own although I don't know how are sales.

Yesterday, my colleague who knew I painted asked me if I'd like to practice drawing from a calendar page. I told her I can't because it's copyrighted and then I realized the next day she actually liked that photo a lot of flowers in a sunny alley. I offered to paint it in soft pastel for her for $50 and she buys the frame and mat.
If it comes about, it'll be my first commission. And from there, I could increase the price later for future referals.
Joe, you are right. Cash sounds straight forward enough!! Love your mythical beast. It has everything!
Prem, very alert birds.
Maria, how are you doing? No monthly challenge this month? It's okay, take a rest. Question for you. Do you or your friends sell your trading cards? Where do you do it at?
I can finally relax as of today. A few weeks ago, I've been preoccupied preparing for a civil exam and this week I've been worried about my interview yesterday. It's over with. Now I'll know if I'll get the new job or not in 4 weeks or so. If I do, I'll have a few more white hair because it's a supervisory job and I will have even less relaxing time to paint. If I don't, I'm going devote all my free time to building up my art resume.
