I am somewhat where you are
What I am doing is having art sales (yard sales) of my prints. Here I can display my original work and portraits that I've done of my children. I get a good response but its not as constant as I would like it yet. I also go to local flea markets doing the same thing. I was doing a little better there because I had a bigger flow traffic.
In fact this year I did not go yet and I bump into clients that I've picked up there last year and there first statement is "I was looking for you at the flea market." I think this time Im going to have something for them to walk away with whether they buy the first time or not (a flyer or something).
I also have booths in local festivals, looking to go to surrounding cities (Chicago, Detroit, plus all of West Michigan). Another thing I would suggest is to ask family members ACROSS THE COUNRTY to have art shows for you. Your family would love to do it...no charge even, plus your art work is now going accross the country if thats not encouraging I dont know what is!!! I have a lot of other ideas I just have to find a way to implement them.
