One of the great things about one current internet trend for artists is the creation of small works. Although this is not something every artist can do – for many it has built careers while fuelling opportunities for many people to purchase original art who may have felt that an original by a talented artist was outside their economic reach.
You can find artwork for as low as $25.00 per painting on-line, and while the very same criteria applies to buying a work at this price as it does to something 100 times more costly – you can and will find great artwork by previously unknown artists.
Why the low cost? For some it is the desire to paint regularly – even daily and to do so they generate small paintings – 6” by 6” on average. Along with the prolific creation of these works, artists enjoy the challenge and experience of creating small gems – sometimes as studies for larger works, but often complete and finished fine art pieces in their own right. A few artists have managed to build a career from beginning with small low priced works and now command gallery showings with much higher prices. Imagine if you owned one of these small early paintings by a successful artist.
Also common is that artists who appreciate each other’s work will trade in order to build a collection of work they like from artists all over the world
So get out and explore and enjoy the selection of small paintings available on line.
