Acrylic Floral Sold ~ Square Up Credit Card ~ by Texas Contemporary Artist Nancy Standlee



Orange and Violet Floral
SOLD

11 x 15 acrylic floral on watercolor paper

This acrylic floral is in the mail heading towards a Utah art collector. I will be relieved when I receive word that it meets with her approval. The internet is a great place to sell art as well as summer art shows.
Canvas by Canvas will be in a summer art show April 9 in McKinney, Art Walk in downtown on Main Street, for a one day show. Our group does about one outdoor show a year and we need all the suggestions anyone has on what we need for this outing. We have been given two tent spaces, one for CBC and one for individual artists from the group. I plan to bring some of my work and I hope I don't have to resort to pasteboard boxes for display. We'll see. A big plus is being with your friends and talking art to customers.

However, I will have the very newest in technology to take your payment.
This week I've received a free Square Up card reader for my iPhone letting me accept credit card payments anywhere. The Square device is attached into the audio jack for an android or iPhone and you're ready to slide a card and take payments after signing up and doing some paperwork at the San Francisco Company and your bank. (Jack Dorsey of Twitter is one of the founders in 2009.) I had to try it out and charged some fake $1.00 paintings to my account just to see if it would work. None of my friends wanted to play this game. You Tube has quite a few videos to watch to give you an idea of what to expect. My friend Suzy Pal from Plains, TX saw it on an early morning TV show and sent me the link. It is great to have friends to share information even if they won't let you practice buying/selling with their credit cards.
