If I could sketch, I'd draw flies.

Original Post: Unusual things to paint on and strange ways to sell
If I could paint I would have a lot of fun. My work would be everywhere. Every type of shop would be my gallery! Iff I could paint horses my paintings would be in a saddlery or feedstore. If I did landscapes and flowers I would have my work on entry doors and sold at the local building supply yard. Why aren't shovel handles pretty? What a perfect canvas for a vine and I would sell them at the local hardware store! Coffee shops for my quiet stuff and the loud, colorful and crazy would go to the nightclubs on Main Street! Oh, there are walls everywhere and I would have no fear of asking! My dentist could use two and my Doctor three and I could change them out every couple months. I would like to paint children's furniture and I would have samples of my work whereever furniture is sold. I wouldn't imit myself to canvas unless, of course, it could be used as pillow covers or bar stools. Why do artists who can paint think only of an 8" X 10" on the wall? I would paint everywhere and on anything...on mirrors! that would be great and the local glass shop would become "my gallery". Painting a table top would be fun and now the furniture store would represent me! Paper or plastic? My work would be on canvas bags to reuse and use again. I bet the artists on this site could add to this list of unusual things to paint on and strange ways to sell. I don't paint, except for the occasional house, but my iron work is in strange places and by now I am known all over town.
