I have to say I didn't sell many !
That's no reflection on your skill, believe me. It's just a matter of building your following and/or finding a market that uses your art. But any time you get visible it's a benefit.

Thank you for this. And thanks to the internet for having conversion pages from cm. to inches. You may be interested to know that metrics are gradually slipping into the USA. My health care people are all using metrics now. This affects me more than you. But it's one of those mysteries how there were different measurement standards. But this is passing. Just don't ask me what my weight is in metrics. I have no idea.
I remember reading lots of art books where all the painting measurements were in cm. That was of no use to me at the time. Like I said, now on the computer, it's easy to find out.
