Hi @revelationart. The artwork has to be posted on Steemit before any other social media sites like FB or Instagram. I'm not clear with the curie rules for artwork, but I will tag @randomwanderings on here who is a Curator. He could help answer any questions you may have.

Curie is a community that support authors and artists that invest time in writing quality content. Many of us are small and our upvote support to you might be $0.01 or slightly more from some more established steemians. An upvote from curie could be in the range of $30+. Their support encourage newbies to continue sharing their work with others here on Steemit.

I am from the #newbieresteemday initiative. We are a team of good-hearted individuals that volunteer some time to help newbies start here. We have a small curation account with @newbieresteemday, but our upvote is not much. We do try to lift the spirits of those just starting here. If you use our #newbieresteemday tag for future posts, we can keep an eye out on your posts and support with what we can. @randomwanderings is a member of both our Newbie Resteem community and curie.

Below link is an example of a painting that received curie support. Please be careful on clicking on links people leave for you, but this one is okay since it has the full steemit.com name in the link.
