Please view my first ebay listing for a painting, "Reclining Nude"... and bid on it! You may get a bargain, as I am using this as a "test case" to learn how selling on ebay works.The listing reads thus: This charming little nude painting was done from life in the alla prima style (completed with the first application of paint to the entire area, instead of being built up by layering), with bold impasto strokes and lyrical colors.
The frame is a deep walnut color, simple profile, 7/8" wide on the face and 1.5" deep. It is mounted, wired and ready to hang.
This is my first attempt at selling an oil painting on ebay, so you may get quite a bargain as a result of this first "sacrificial" offering for the sake of learning. The painting and frame are first quality, and although it is a small piece, it is one of my favorite that I have done in this genre. It would normally be priced at $290 in a gallery.

This painting is on a masonite panel that was primed with gesso.
05/09/10 Update: SOLD - The painting sold for $41.00... an acceptable place to start.
