Pastel landscapes on Zazzle

I am posting here some recent pastel paintings which I have uploaded to Zazzle, they are not on many products at the moment but will soon be found on many of the products in Zazzles product range. If you particularly like an image but would like to see it on something which isn't yet available, please let me know and I will oblige as quickly as possible. It would be best to contact me via my Zazzle account (profile). Let me bring you some of my recent artwork:-

I hope that you enjoy these paintings, and that you might consider even a postcard from my store; but it isn't a pre-requisite; if you simply want to browse the store and enjoy the art please free to do so with my best wishes.

Recent sales on Zazzle

I have sold a few ( sadly only a few) greetings cards recently. This is a selection from the past couple of weeks. I am never going to get rich on this record.

I am thankful that I am earning a small income from my writing on sites like Squidoo (see a list of my articles, called lenses by Squidoo) and Bubblews (this will take you to my profile on the site); these pay for my broadband and a few things like printer ink and paper.

Latest Zazzle Sales

I have had a few successful sales on Zazzle this year so far, but overall my sales are so very disappointing.

I guess (hope?) this is all about promotion, should I be getting more of the right keywords in product titles and especially descriptions. I will have to think very carefully about keywords when adding new products and try to add more keywords as well as the simple desription of the image which I have been doing so far.

I shall also be promoting more heavily on certain social media sites. I need to consider which ones I shall be working with. I have a facebook page called Pastel Landscape Paintings which I am using to promote my main preoccupation, namely my pastel paintings. Why not slip over and take a look at my page and give me a like to keep up with postings.

Some of my sales this year have been:-

Tree and blue evening sky - pastel painting on Zazzle products

I hope that you caught my last post, I mentioned a new pastel painting which was available on Zazzle as a canvas print. I have now done as I promised and made it available on a range of products. I am really pleased with this painting and have used it as is and also after editing in photoshop. The edits are quite simple just colour and saturation but they do provide a series of products which I think may please a wide range of people. If those people were in the market for the products I am offering then that would make a very happy circumstance.


First of all, there is the original printed image on canvas:-

A throw pillow, just to provide a different image:-

I think by now you get the idea. If you like the image, I can probably design it onto any of the Zazzle products. Why not take a look at the whole range?

Some different edits next time around, perhaps. See you then.
