To sell or not to sell?

 I have never tried to sell a painting.
Never wanted to part with my work.
My family kept urging me to take a risk.
I experimented.
Painted two almost identical.
Figured I could part with one if I had one I could keep.
Asked a shop owner about consignments.
Dropped off one of the paintings last Tuesday.
Sold today.

Mixed feelings.
Thrilled.
Scared.
Am I ready for this adventure?
