When I started out, I based my prices on a $15 per hour fee plus expenses for material. I kept a time sheet and frankly got very tired of logging in my hours. I often have spent so much time on a piece that it produced a price tag, which I considered too high.

Having attended many local shows and exhibits and evaluating the response from those who admired my work, I felt they would have made the purchase or ordered a commission if the price was lower. I have also consulted with a group of very close friends, whose opinion I value 100% and who also represent the buying consumer and have received the same input regarding the affordability factor.

After this I went on the Internet and made a list of every portrait artist
