If your work can be made small enough, draw it onto notecards and sell them in packages. Get nice envelopes to go with them at a crafts store or at an office supplies store. At the crafts stores, you can get pre-folded blank cards with envelopes, if you like. Bundle four or six cards together with their envelopes, and tie it with a pretty ribbon.
Check your local chamber of commerce for any upcoming crafts fairs in your general area. If they don't know, they'll know who does know about things like that. Get yourself into a crafts fair and see how your work sells. Of course, there are lots of people who draw and/or paint incredibly well, so you need to make sure there is something special about your work -- besides the fact that you did it. (That only works for your mom.) Once you see how the cards sell, you can decide whether to sell larger pieces or to get more training before you try that.

Does your town have an arts guild? Networking is the best way to sell your work. Call your local hospital. They are great for showcasing local artists on the walls all through their facilities. Call restaurants and ask if they will hang your work with your card tucked into the corner. They love this because they can change their artwork for free, and it's good for you because people see your art.
You can also launch a website and sell you art on Ebay, but it will be hard to get full value becaus ethere are so many people out there calling themselves artists.

First of all you have to create a brand for urself, and the easiest way to do it is to offer a hotel 2 or 3 drawings in exchange of displaying one of urs in the lobby with ur name and contact details, another one is to sell for charity where u can charge a higher price take ur cost and give to the charity, business people, politicians and money generators love to donate to charity.

Hold a one person art show. Have your items framed and listed with a price for sale.
