Default Started Sherman...

Let me get a little more done and I'll post a progress pic...

Not getting much positive feedback from all the emails I sent out on marketing these... oh well, I'm doing them for myself anyway - if somebody wants them, they'll find me...

I wonder if people may think they'll be too expensive. Are you posting a price along with them? It's such good work they may think it's out of their range. Just a thought.

Have you thought of maybe advertising in a magazine like
Civil War Historian

Maybe show a sample of your work in a local museum? Heck you might even try e-bay?

I know I really like your work, beale.

Good man. I think that if someone really wants the piece, they'll not be concerned about price. Love the work and I know you do too...it shows.

I agree with pris, atr collectors aren't so much concerned with price as the beauty of the art itself, and yours is awesome!
