How much work do you produce in an average 6 month period? What mediums do you work with and what dimensions are we talking about?
For the work above, if you did it in gouache and ink, at around 17" x 11" you could probably sell them for between $80-$200 each, depending on the market in your area. the venue will depend on the volume of work you produce, if you create a lot, a gallery might be your best bet. Most galleries require a portfolio of your work so they can get a sense of your style, before they will accept your work. Each gallery will have thier own portfolio guidelines that they can give you upon request.
You can also go to street fairs, street markets or city carnivals. The fee to get a booth is usually reasonable and can be made up with the sale of only a few pieces. This may be a good venue to start with, especially if you can find someone to share the booth with, so you don't have to foot the whole bill. Look in your area for artist guilds that you can join as well, that way you can get into their guild shows and booths as well.
Of course an online portfolio can't hurt, you can use paypal to accept payments for work or just do money orders.
Good luck with it, PM me if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to help you find the answers.
