Buying my paintings

ailbheI have decided I am willing to sell three square oil paintings on deep-frame canvas, about 8" x 8" x 1.5". So far I have photos taken on my phone; each of these thumbnails links to a larger image, but they are phone-quality photos.
Edit 1h 20m later: Sold, pending payment, packing up, posting etc. I need to wrap them and take them to the post office and find out what postage is, then send people that info and work out how to take payment. Gosh.
I am only listing pictures I am confident are "good enough to sell". If you liked something and I haven't listed it, let me know and I'll either give it a price or explain that the reality doesn't match up to the photograph, or take a better photo, or something.
If anyone has tips on how to make very sure that oils are dry enough to wrap and pack, that would be awesome. These seem dry to touch, but...

Date: 2011-01-13 10:07 pm (UTC)"I don't know exactly how long it takes, I was never in a hurry. It depends how thick her paint is and what medium she uses to dilute. Touch-dry is not always reliable."
"My paintings could take a week to a month to dry and I don't paint very thickly. I use a medium that is quick drying. If she slaps the paint on with a palette knife it could take months to dry."
Sorry I couldn't get you more useful info.
