You're right, I wasn't very clear.

What I meant was, do you think that it would be more acceptable to market the lower priced work as sketches and sometimes of a different medium. For example, instead of just offering it as a quick 8X10 painting, you could make it seem more as an 8X10 sketch. A sketch being something that people would normally associate with fine art but also realize that it's not just some sloppy and quick piece of work but instead a skilled gesture. So, in other words a fast work is not a sloppy rushed work but instead a high quality sketch.

So to sum it up, would you still be viewed as an artist of high caliber if you offered a lower priced sketch (not a painting in the traditional sense) as an alternative to people that couldn't afford a full painting? In doing so, making sure that you're differentiating your normal work from your sketches that you offer.

I wrote more words this time but that doesn't always mean that it makes more sense. If it doesn't I can try to throw out more examples and such to make more sense out of my ramblings.
