Randy Rosenberger

I am very happy to see sales and recent wins from our members! Use this new posting thread to showcase sold art and one of top 3 wins in contests.

Please post your recent sales and/or contest wins on this site, as original site is now DEAD! All new posting should go to this site, as other was getting rather full.

Thanks much for sharing, and now you have your own PERSONAL venue to showcase your winners and your sold artworks!

Forever, Elvis

Wow, Chris! Congrats on your double sales, as I can see why, as with my "new golf club" my wife so kindly presented to me for Christmas, and all I have been doing is bundling up with chill factors below -30 and 2 feet of new snow in past 2 weeks, I have the golf or gulf itch, and either one would make me a happy camper!

These are just awesome shots, and I am in envy of the shots and the fact you had to be there to do this! I am happy for you and hopefully, it won't be long and Wisconsin will offer its gorgeous courses open for the season! Love these two pieces, and congrats on your double sales. I am happy for you and very proud of you for your grand accomplishments!!

this tied for first in the Wood Bridges contest, it's an oldie but I still love it myself! Thanks everyone!

Penny Meyers

You just never know when the right person is going to stumble across your work. Having come across my photos on FAA while looking for art that represented their Minnesota/Midwest roots, a financial services company in my state contacted me about a month ago. We have now reached an agreement where they are going to license 20 of my photos for use in their newsletters, brochures, website, etc. Several of those they chose were even ones I was considering deleting from FAA as they were not getting much attention. They made their selections from my FAA profile, and here are just a few of their choices.

Matthias Hauser

Sold this one today... :-)

Joan Carroll

Norm Starks

I sold the original of this piece on my etsy.com site on Valentines day.

Randy Rosenberger

First the honor of sales goes out to Tommy, for awesome Packers" beauty, Joan, for the Herd of Horns great piece, Matthias, for the gorgeous scenic overlook special, and Norm for his Awesome equine painting of the white beauty! Congrats to you all, and am very happy for your recognition and sales and very proud of you all too.

Second, to address recent contest wins: Bruce, for his two toned awesome Iris, Hanne, for her FEATURE of Photo/Song title contest on top of our home page, Joan, for the gorgeous Wood Bridge scenic beauty, and A SUPER BIG CONGRATS to Penny for her wonderful news and accolades she has been given, regarding licensing of 20 pieces of her works to be be published and honored. WOW, Penny, what an outstanding honor! I am so happy for all of you winners, and very proud of your fine accomplishments!

Forever, Elvis

Penny Meyers

Thanks so much Joan, Norm and Randy for the congrats!! It's so nice to have the support of such a wonderful group!

Joan, if I was more confident in what I was doing, I'd be more than happy to share. I am just figuring it out as I go. I researched some stock photo sites to get an idea on pricing, and I searched and found a couple samples of stock photography license agreements that individual photographers use and sort of combined the two to come up with something that seemed to work, and now I'm resizing the images so they're appropriate for their intended use. It has been a fun learning process anyway!

Joan Carroll

well that is helpful for anyone getting started to know that there are other places we can get info from ! thanks Penny!
