I rarely get commissions from my site, not that I ever expected to. My site functions as an easily accessible online portfolio. I don't actually think that many people would consider spending tens of thousands of dollars based on a 72dpi thumbnail image. Most of my commissions are either through referrals or through people seeing my original paintings.
I list my prices so that potential customers can see the consistency in my pricing and not get the feeling that I'm trying to take unfair advantage of them. I can tell anyone interested in commissioning me to check my website to verify my prices.
Also since I listed my prices I don't get any annoying requests for portraits from people looking to have a snapshot blown up into a painting for $150.
