      I participated in a very nice art show over this past weekend. There were 28 other very diverse and very good artists there in addition to me.
      I was able to sell one original and one print and also set up a commission with a couple who wanted something more specific.
      Two of the artists scolded me for not having high enough prices.
      One had a piece ( fairly large ) for……..are you sitting down?
      $15,000!
      I actually asked her if she sells any at such a price, and she said, yes, she does!
      I guess I am not that greedy. I would show you her painting, but I don’t have permission to do so and it would be a bit unethical, too.

        I don't think it's greedy to get paid what you're worth. If your paintings can fetch that, then that is the market value. I charge a certain amount for my time and if people don't want to pay, that's their choice.

          I guess that was a poor choice of words, in fact it was. I don’t begrudge her one bit. More power to her, I say. I was just a bit taken aback by such a high price. And no one is forcing anyone to buy it, either.

            I don't know what your prices are, Wayne, but work similar to your caliber in this area were getting anywhere from $1,000 to $3000 and up for large pieces back in 1998. I have no idea what they are fetching today. If I was a good as you I would be charging whatever the market can bear.

              Thanks, George.
              By the way, I had a very enlightening talk with the artist who had the high prices, and one other who also had pretty hefty prices.
              I asked her, ‘Then what do you think my prices should be?’
              She walked around my part of the exhibit and motioned with her finger as to make a number one, then a comma in front of all my prices.
              The second one said, simply, “double”.
              I’m just not as gutsy as those two, and it’s on me, not them. Right?

                It's definitely on you.
                You are probably like me in that you have talent and abilities that allow you to do certain things in your life that make you happy, and the satisfaction you get from this is more important than money.

                    This was the painting I sold at the recent show. I also sold one print and one couple has commissioned me to do a painting of a great stream on their property.
                    So, that was good. Not too shabby.

                      This is a painting I have shown in the past, but now is going to my niece's new home waiting to be completed.040B2D55-5DD9-4DC3-9EA2-A27784C8B02D.jpeg

                            Thank you; the first one is Xcaret Park, in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, and the second was taken from the Hotel Zone in Cancun, Mexico.

                                    Just brought this one to the client's home last night for them to see their commission in the proper setting. They were thrilled with it. Even their teen aged kids were amazed by it. I think they liked it. I was very relieved.
