In the world of art, I don't think age or experience has anything to do with it. Experience can help you build your talents, and teach you new techniques, but if people like your art they will buy it. Getting it out into the public is important, and finding those that like what you do. Good luck with it!

It has been way too long since I've done anything creative(for myself), and my brain is starting to hurt! Spring has sprung, I think a watercolour is in order.

p.s. I agree that many of the purchasers may have been relatives. I took watercolour and acrylic classes for 5 years with a private teacher. At the end of every year each student chose their favorite piece of work and displayed it at the friends and family show. Never were there prices on things. I think this was a good plan. It was more for art's sake. Then again, when you're 13-18 you don't do this stuff to make money.
