You didn't ask, but I love your portrait of Laiken. What size is it? My oils start at $800 for a 16x20 head and shoulders, no background, and I add for hands and so forth. I wouldn't charge less than that for a pastel such as yours, especially since my prices are way too low for portraiture in general, although I keep them down in consideration of my area, which is rural and not at all tuned in to art in general or portraiture in particular.

Hope that helps you. Sounds like sometimes you're your own worst enemy in terms of pricing - I can't believe your friend didn't give you a break on the computer, but at least it's a good lesson for you - and us all.
