Guidelines for pricing

[Michele Rushworth]

Dear Karin (and others),

I am trying to figure out how to price my work while taking into consideration the part of the country I'm in (Seattle). There is not much of a tradition of portraiture here, in fact I've heard some folks refer to this as the no-man's-land of portraiture. There are hardly any Stroke of Genius artists in the Northwest for me to compare to.

Karin, is there much of a tradition of portraiture in New Hampshire, or do you travel to the South often for commissions?

Thanks!
