A decade ago I found myself suddenly in a space all of my own, where I could express myself in whatever medium appealed to me, and I decided to fill the bare walls of my abode with paintings, inspired by the indigenous cultures amongst which I grew up. I felt free and unintimidated by the constraints of making "Art" and termed the stuff I painted 'poster art'. I painted 6 or 7 in this style, then quit when my walls were fully adorned 
But I LOVE living amongst all this color! it energizes me ...

Lovely work...and the color palette is so indicative of the deserts I have seen in the SW...you could easily take pictures and make them into notecards to sell...I do that with my art and people seem to love having art to use in a practical manner...you have enough for a set!

@dede18 I am a moderator for a huge crafting site...many of our members use etsy or they trade/swap with others...I personally do not sell anything I make...I tend to give away everything as I love the process and not necessarily want to keep the end product...you can also check out local arts and crafts fairs...we have loads of them in our area and I rarely see note cards or smaller items that people can afford...
Wonderful Stuff!! Keep up the decade's long run!!!

@dede18 Thanks to you for showing us your art. That reminds me how little out of the midwest we can see the only real indigenous art of this land while displays of japanese art is everywhere.
