Before anything else, it is necessary for you to prepare a portfolio. You need to maintain a regular portfolio as well as one of your oil paintings online. Within the portfolio, it is highly recommended for you to keep professional quality photographic representations of your oil paintings. This should be inclusive of the ones that have already been sold. You also need to focus on displaying your art work. Your best bets are coffee shops, bookstores and fashion retailers etc. Depending on your work, you may be able to convince high-class clubs, hotels and restaurants to display your pieces, with or without a percentage of the profits going to them.
