Prices You Pay When Pricing Your Work

I think one of the hardest parts of being an artist is pricing your work. I haven’t yet met an artist who doesn’t struggle with pricing. For me, my work is such an emotional journey, that when it comes to price the piece afterwards, I tend to avoid and just give it away to someone who connects with the piece. Yes, I know... "How are you going to make money? Or "Why sell yourself short?" I am not sure that is what I am doing. I paint because I have to paint, sure would I like to make a living on what I am passionate about? But, for me painting isn’t about making a lot of money, it’s about painting. I have researched, spoken to artists, and come to a good place on the prices of my work. These are original, one of a kind. Some may not pay for art, others might think its still way to cheap, but I want people to feel good about buying and supporting the arts and supporting my work! I am thankful for having such a talent and that I can create something that can create an emotion from the person who is drawn to it. Maybe someday, I will be in Galleries; after all I am still young (47) and have lots of time to create! Thanks for visiting my site and please contact me if you want!
