Sounds like you have a great system Patricia! I really appreciate all those ideas.
I have no problem doing free portraits. In fact, I was considering doing one for free for our local congresswoman (I have a friend who works in her office). I became very concerned that that would be frowned upon (amongst artistic communities) since I didn't earn it or was selected through some committee. Is this a faux pas?
I'd love for some of you to weigh in on that. I think that it would be such a great addition to my portfolio.
Also, has anyone written directly to a country club or organization with an offer for a free painting for advertising purposes?
I know there is a market in my area for my business. There are some definite upscale neighborhoods and country clubs in my area, I just have to get in!
I have plans to go to my friend's Kiwanis club to do a little talk in a week or so..not really sure what I am going to say but I know this will have more of an impression than her handing out my business cards.
