“Generally speaking, paintings with light colors sell more quickly than paintings with dark colors.

Subjects that sell well: Madonna and child, landscapes, flower paintings, still lifes (free of morbid props, dead birds, etc.) Nudes, marine pictures, abstracts and surrealism.

Subject matter is important: it has been said paintings with cows and hens in them collect dust while the same paintings with bulls and roosters sell.”
