Selling a Water Color

Does anybody know how to sell a water color? I have one for sale that I bought about 15-20 years ago at a gallery which no longer exists. At the time I paid $450 for it.

It's a very evocative painting -- like a late January afternoon and a corner of a Victorian house. I think I was attracted to that kind of sad mood; I identified with it; I got it, but now it just makes me sad. I took it down when my living room was being painted about 10 years ago and never put it back up.

I know I could just let it go and give to the thrift shop, but I thought I could at least try to sell it. I don't want to do eBay -- I guess I feel I wouldn't get the value of it.

When I was looking at it tonight, I didn't have my glasses so I couldn't really read the artist's name, but I guess that would be a first step... see how well-known the artist is. I'm open to any other suggestions. I am not trying to make back my money, but just do better than giving it away.

  1. You might try Craigs List, but you have to be careful. Will talk to you about it this week.
