Tell me what to do with my original paintings- style gurus needed

Style gurus!

I'm trying to update my home especially the dated wall art.

I have a few original watercolours dotted around the house. But they are starting to make the house look dated. I've not changed my decor for around 20 years so am slowly bringing my accessories etc into the 21stC.

Some of this involves re-framing some watercolours (mainly abstract landscapes) in white and grey frames (rather than gold or brown.)

But I'm still left with a few pictures which cost maybe £50-£75 each new ( 30 years ago.)
They are 'pretty scenes' but they are not what's in fashion now- which seems to be line drawing in monochrome, or 'picture galleries' on one wall, all grouped together.

I've tried putting a few pics on Ebay but no interest. I feel they are too 'good' for the charity shops.

Any ideas other than the loft?

I really don't think there is much market for second hand art in that price range, unfortunately. Especially with the way trends go! If you don't want to just give them away, could you mix them up into a more modern layout? What you are doing with updating the frames sounds good - could you mix them into a gallery wall with some more modern prints, if that's the sort of thing you want now?
