Michele, I understand that someone may love something about a piece of artwork that I do not. This happened to me recently. What I found was that the person was pretty easy to please, so I reworked the piece to my satisfaction with the element they liked intact. They got the painting they wanted and I had the satisfaction that I sold something that I could live with.

Also, don't discount the fact that some folks see the standard price tag for our work but don't want to pay the full price. They are really "bargain basement shopping" and delight in finding something they percieve may have "value someday" and try to flatter us into parting with it for cheaps.

This is another good reason to destroy really bad work - before someone sees it.
