Default A question for those who sell through galleries, etc.

I have some framed prints for sale in a local antiques mall and have had some good success selling there. Just sold 2 more prints today and am wondering if I should frame up 2 more like the ones that sold or go to different prints and hold off on re-offering what sold today for next month. One of the prints is my "best seller", so I wonder if I would be shooting myself in the foot if I did not rehang it.

Also, one of the dealers there suggested that I focus on larger prints (I have sold 11 by 14" and 8 by 10 inch framed and matted to the respective larger size). What do you think about that? I am selling primarily landscapes and am still building my portfolio in that area.

I also manipulate my landscapes to look like a painting (more than just applying the watercolor filter in PS). I am also wondering if I should invest in a canvas print of my best seller, and if so, what size should I go with.

Budget is limited, I have to pay a commission on sales, plus take into consideration the price of reframing replacements.

Input, please!
TIA
Anne

I say go for the canvas. Typically these attract a different level of buyer, who is willing to pay more. Wrapped canvas is really popular right now, at least with my yuppie clients.
