I don't post here very often, but I do visit often and I would like to say I admire the beautiful work and the talent that is shown here. I have learned a lot by reading the critiques and other posts.
I am just starting to charge for my artwork (previously done just for friends and family). I have looked at many artists' sites to try and grasp an adequate price as far as talent and location is concerned. Also, I asked friends and family what they thought would be a fair price list.
I recently painted a portrait of a dog for a friend's wedding anniversary gift (they never had kids and this Yorkie is their 'little girl'). The painting received a lot of attention from the party guests and I may have several people interested in commissioning a portrait.
So my concern is that maybe my price list is too high and that it would scare off potential customers. My mom seems to think it is too high and that I should start lower, while my husband says that he thinks it seems fair. So I need your opinions please! My website is
http://susanscustom.topcities.com (It is a free site that my husband put together for me). Unfortunately I do not have any paintings on there yet but I have some pencil drawings. The possible clients that I am immediately concerned about are the ones from the party and so obviously they have seen an example of my work to judge from. I realize that perhaps you cannot say if my prices are fair without seeing a painting example, but please give me your best judgment based upon the artwork shown. I am located in Eastern Iowa. If you wish to email me, my address has recently changed to
