In my desperation to try and sell art, I have had to start to think creatively about marketing.  Galleries are disappearing, in this economy  people are not thinking about buying art. Recently, I have had luck selling my work at silent auctions.  The very serious causes like Children's Hospitals, and Breast Cancer want a total donation , and that is my pleasure.  It is my way of giving back. But just  last week, I sold the above painting at an auction for a wonderful Philadelphia venue that provides artistic services.  We agreed on a  50/50 split .  I had two works up for sale and they both sold.  If you have a benefit that includes a silent auction, please let me know.  I have a studio full of beautiful work in all price ranges.  I would love to work with you or your organization. Take a look at my website, www.dorispector.com
