I've Opened A New Account For My Paintings

In times past, and maybe again in the near future, I was painting watercolors. Over the course of three decades I did pretty well with them at art shows, festivals and even being accepted into a few galleries. I didn't keep very good records and few really good copies of images were made. those that I had, I found were competing with my new line of fine art digital abstracts. So I have opened a new - at the moment still free account - here on FAA for my watercolors at http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/rdavid-erickson.html?tab=artwork.

They will still show in my "History of Art" here in this account.

I'd like to thank all of those that have viewed them and appreciated them over the past few years. Thank you. rd

Best of luck - maybe this focussed approach will get a few sales. :)

I think it's a good move, Roy. I did the same thing. I was producing photography plus painted prints but decided that because they're two different animals, to separate the two.

But I decided to go ahead with the premium account so I could develop an AW.

Your move will allow you to target more specifically in social media and with blogs. Plus, you have two separate galleries to work with. I think it's a win-win. You should consider the premium, even if under the free 25, so you can design and link to the AW.

Go for it Roy, you have nothing to loose and everything to gain.

Roy,
My experience of having two faa accounts ( one is for one of my series in painting only):
I opened it for two reasons....extra exposure and a place to send clients to only see that series.

That account is not premium..the images are also on my main, premium account with 1200 other images.
I get next to no traffic on the small account..even before google stopped picking up duplicate images.

I think that is a great idea, I have looked at your pages, but I must have never noticed these images that you have on your painting page, they must have gotten lost in the crowd. I must say they are unique in a good way, you should do more of that kind of work...just sayin!

Only works if you are sending people to the account. Other wise they just come randomly in via Google.

Ed,
most all my business comes from google...that's why I don't stress over the search engine here....

Let us know how that goes Roy. And of course you know that I love your trees and style.

Roy, I'm just very impressed with your painting skill. I didn't know you did both! Best wishes with your art :)

Lovely style Roy!

 

Isn't this your third account, Roy? I think you've developed an account compulsion! :-)

Best of luck!

good luck

 

The good thing is, Roy, you are being pro-active, not negative (trying to beat the system), rather, I think this new site is a wonderful celebration of your painting skills, as separate to your other pursuits..........Good luck.

Love these three: so far
