Pricing a piece is an artists nightmare.  Art is very subjective.  Some pieces take months for me to create, particularly the ones that are 4ft X 5ft.  Those are huge!  The canvas is expensive, the paint, then the time....and with my injuries.....it is time consuming.  So, I actually don't know what to charge.  I have consulted many artists.  They say just to put a price on it.  Start anywhere.   They don't have a pricing structure.  So, here is where I stand.  I will not turn down a reasonable offer! 

Acrylics take time- if it has a episode # attached there is a story behind it and be prepared to listen - and that painting means something and will probably end up in a coffee table book someday.

Watercolors are easier for me to do. And typically done when I am having to recuperate from either an episode or an injury/ surgery.

Glass works are a very new addition to my adventures; and I am getting used to my kiln.  So, take advantage of this!  I am game to let my experiments go at very nice prices!

Pastels are fun and messy at the same time.  I love their brilliance.  But I can't do them in bed like the water colors.  I have to go to the studio.  So, I do them when my right arm gets too weak to hold a brush or my right knee just doesn't want to stand anymore.

SIZE MATTERS!  Make an offer that reflects the size of the piece. 

Remember that artists are just trying to cover costs, and make enough to move onto the next painting!

I love my paintings, don't get me wrong.  They adorn my entire house.  Each one I look at and I rotate them throughout the year, so I revisit them, like friends.  But, I am not a storage facility.  And I would like to make more paintings for people to enjoy and for people to understand what happens to me in my brain when I have seizures.  I really think that is important.  I am hoping that somehow that will help other people that have brain injuries.  Maybe, somday soon I will be bold enough to put prices.  B
