FineArtAmerica – update on some recent sales

As I mentioned before, I uploaded about 500 of my images to Fine Art America. This is a site that provides a way for the general public to find your art and have it printed (and framed) for their home. I was slightly worried that people could easily copy some of my best stock work (at least for website use), and so I have removed some of the obvious stocky isolated shots from the site.

September brought me two great sales, followed by one smaller one in October, so I’ve decided to work a bit more on some artistic type shots and add more images to my portfolio there. But first, the sales:

The first one was a very wide panoramic shot of Hanalei Bay in Kauai. A lovely spot, and I had created a wide stitched image of the bay at sunrise. I made $95 profit on this one.

Second up in September was another very large print. This time a 24 x 18 inch print and frame of the statue of President Roosevelt and his dog at Cherry Blossom time. This one made a $98 profit.

Finally, in October, I sold a smaller print of the moon rising over the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and Capitol in Washington DC. This one made a $17 profit. Interestingly, this image is also my best seller on Zazzle. I noticed that someone had bought 100 postcards of this image yesterday!

As I mentioned, I’m thinking through my images to decide which ones might sell on FAA – my most recent shots have been focus stacked macro images of the seed pod of the swamp milkweed! I may well print one of these for my own wall!
