I Always Get A Print Sale When I Comment Here

Hi Jani! As much as I've posted in the Irma discussion I would be writing checks like crazy to Harvry's people if that was true of my customers!

Hi, Kathy, I'm thinking...perhaps...that my buyers are the silent readers of my posts. Maybe some actually comment.

We all have a tribe somewhere. Mine seems to be invisible until...Poof! A sale happens and I'm like, who was that? Where'd they go? I'd really like to meet them. The nature of POD sites. Sigh!

hey Jani, i'm unable to buy but i did follow. I like your carousel photos.

Hello, Alice, nice to meet you.
Thank you for following. :-)

Oh, and the carousel horses look great printed on metal. Just sayin'... :-)

Invisible tribe! LOL

Hi there Jani... I'll test your theory out, it's worth a try!

Hello, Jen, yes ma'am. Everything is worth a try once. Say a bit about yourself. A neat trick you can do or something.

If I got a sale every time I commented here I'd be a top seller.

Watch. It might happen because of this thread.

Those vibes up there are for real.

Here's to hope! :)

Hi! Waving from sopping wet Tennessee. Irma decided to move in here....thank goodness not as forceful as she did down south! Hope everyone is doing well. :) --Jai

it would be nice if I had a sale for when I commented

Jani, you're one lucky lady! I make 2-5 responses to threads on here at least 350 days out of the year... and no, that is certainly not my rate of sales :) I just love the social and helping aspect of this forum, and it's an engrained part of my day now after 5 years. And my activity here is mostly me "paying it forward", for all the help given to me in so many ways, and in so many circumstances over the years :)

Wouldn't it be something though, if every response triggered a sale? My waking thought would be "wonder which one will sell today? instead of "Gah! Freakin' marketing...I still hate it" :)

Hello, Jai, glad to hear you are doing okay. Stay dry.

Hi Joy. Hi Steven. Hi Phyllis.

Maybe it is because I only comment sometimes. :-)

Joy, what I hear is that sales happen through building relationships. Positive ones. Not actually being a salesperson. That works in the original art world. Not sure how that works in the print world when your tribe is invisible lIke mine is, but I am game.

If only marketing was (were?) really that simple :)

I get a sale every time I go away somewhere. Weird but it happens every time, and I am certainly not on the computer while away

me too, Brian!
Collectors must be able to sniff out when I leave town......and of course, they need specs, images, and details I don't travel with! lol

Marlene, it just tells me I should take more vacations!

Hi Jani! I wish it was that simple too!

I'm wondering how many of us are going to go check that little money bag icon?

edit: takes me so long to type...but I always get sales after being away too...don't have to go anywhere ...just not on the computer.

Hello, John, welcome.

So what do you do, guys and gals? What makes you tick? Give an elevator speech of what you do.

I have an idea. Something to get the relationship ball rolling.

Describe what you do as an artist or describe your day job very badly.

I'll go first. About my day job not my art. (Phyllis don't tell)

I enter people's houses in broad daylight while they are away and go through their things thoroughly for a few hours so as not to miss anything.
Before I leave, I wipe away all fingerprints and take their money.
What am I?

Hello, Marlene, Brian, and Val.

Marlene and Brian: then you two need to beat it and go on vacation...no, just kidding. Stay.

I forgot about the sales that happen when I go on vacation. Not every time, but many times.

I check my money bag all the time. I'm overly hopeful I guess. :-)

Oh, so you opened the water well that makes our dreams come true? :D Yay, I'm in! ;)

Yes, I feel your vibes and I'm going to make my dan$e right now! :p Oh come dolare$, oohhmmm, ohhmmm... :D

Hello Jani, are you suppose to give away your secret, but then again hummmm great observation. Now does anyone want to guess how many sales I made last year appearing in the discussions? Good luck everyone!!! Something I did note though when I copy and post in image post that works for sure......

Hello, Arletta.

Hello, Michael. Sharing is good.

I have another game:

This one is to discover your stripper name.
What is the name of your first pet?
What is the name of the first street you lived on?
Mine is Spooky Winona

And no, I'm not trying to get your password to anything and no that is not my password. :-)

Saying Hello in hopes of getting my mojo working!!

"Texas San Antonio River Walk 2" watercolor painting



This watercolor painting captures the San Antonio Texas Riverwalk & Casa Rio Umbrellas. Boat tours are a fun way to see & learn about the history of the buildings. In this scene, a river barge is just entering the tunnel under a bridge.

Sidewalks along the canal are lined with hotels, shops, bars & restaurants. Trees provide plenty of shade over the stairs & walking paths.

My favorite stop is “Casa Rio” a famous Mexican food restaurant with colorful umbrellas. Founded in 1946 it was the first business to open & take advantage of this scenic location. The outdoor seating is perfect for people watching, feeding ducks & listening to strolling mariachi bands.

Time spent here is always enjoyable!

Fly fishing on a cold autumn morning, Sierra-Nevada High Country, California

Just a short drive west of Bishop, California, the natural setting changes quite abruptly from the high desert sage and arid climate of the Owens Valley to an alpine pine forest, rushing streams and gorgeous lakes surrounded by the high mountains of the Eastern Sierra. This is one of the most popular areas in the area for trout fishing.

Dramatic clouds on a brooding coastal day and then . . . the sun breaks through. It's the perfect moment.

Hoping Jani is an oracle!

Oh she is John K !

Best of wishes to everyone.

And Roses

And Get Red with me in the valley of trees! A new beginning with new growth, new hope! A Hope that never die! A place where heart in calm and A place where we can Trust! A place where we have beautiful memories! A place we not feel lonely! A place where we love to sit and leave and over everything behind us! and then, wait for a while, we start with new beginnings
