Heck yea - as much as I can. I've given a number of prints away for hanging in
businesses - acts like great advertising and it's paid off.

It's all about getting your name out there.

Thank you Judy and Rod both for the information. I have only toyed with the
idea of art shows, but you both game me good info. to chew on. We have one area
here that is real big on art and they have co-op galleries, I have not decided
if I want to put some of my work there or not. Have you either of you ever
printed of work and had it hung in a local business for decoration but also for
sale? Thank you both for your time and wisdom.
