I am preparing to send 3 pastel paintings purchased off the AbsoluteArts website to a city close to Milan, Italy. I tried sending them three days ago from UPS, but I found out for international shipments, a phone number is needed, and I didn't get one of those from the AbsoluteArts representative, so I let her know, but she hasn't gotten back with me yet.
This is my second sale, and I am so happy about it! I am so curious about how the buyer found my work. He reported wanted one at first, but after hearing about the cost to ship just one, bought two more because the shipping would be the same. I sold my first painting about two years ago through a gallery in Brooklyn, NY, another sort of interesting story, and that painting is in a Manhattan law firm. (That's cool!) It is amazing to think that these three paintings I am getting ready to send off will be in a country where so much great art work originates both currently and historically.
