You can try listing it for sale on sites like etsy, artfire, or fine art america. If you have a blog or an account on an art site, make a journal saying that this is for sale.

Also, don't call paintings "paints", don't use so many ellipses, and use proper grammar, punctuation and capitalization. Your writing comes off as highly immature and unprofessional - it's going to hurt your chances of selling something.
I presume you haven't used any copyrighted photos in making of this picture, or have the proper licenses?

Lamination won't last long. I can't think of a worse thing to do to a water colour.

actually it's durable i think ...... i've done it with a matte paper ......so it doesn't spoil the appearance :) .......the picture gets projected from both that laminated cover and the glass :)

You realise most photos from the internet are still under copyright? Unless it was marked "royalty free" or something.
That's not how copyright works..
