    looking for advise on putting a price tag on some works going up at a show over the weekend.

    i find it hard to let original work go, so i usually overprice them, but i'd like to sell these as they're for benefiting an orphanage in thailand that i'm quite involved with.

    just looking for opinions on what you'd consider a justified price.

    here's an example of one that's going up on the wall. if i were selling it as a commission for a book/editorial, i'd charge by the hour and would hand over a digital version for around $175. but, for a normal art show, i'd put a tag on it around $350.

    How about land it in the middle at $225? It's a nice detailed piece, but it wouldn't necessarily be a good fit in a lot of home decor, so that might be something to consider.

    • true. they dont really sit well next to a kinkade.bjladams
