And the way I can tell is that my paintings sell regularly enough (small works and large) to afford me my salary and which keeps me painting at a sustainable rate with out any significant " inventory" build up.<br /><br />I don't seek gallery representation but I never turn down an offer to show if I have the work.

You led with the HF story, which illustrates the point well. I use square inches at a certain dollar amount per, which lends consistent pricing to a body of work that is created in many non-standard sizes. But, the whole thing is anchored to the demand.<br /><br Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-30692827407094130132010-08-30T07:40:22.119-04:002010-08-30T07:40:22.119-04:00All good and helpful ideas.

We are preparing for a group show in Toronto this week, emerging & established artists. <br />As an emerging artist many of my prices appear low in comparison to the other participants of the exhibit, however I didn’t want to raise them just for the sake of being more in line with some of the established artists,jane longmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382552693729113138noreply@blogger.com
