ACEO bargain ?????
OK. YOU tell me ... HOW MUCH IS MY ART WORTH?
This ACEO (2.5x3.5") watercolor took me 4 hours to paint.
Hmmm, this is a tuffie. Did you list it at that price? Here's what I think--I'm not going to put a price on it. I've done art work before, and I don't know about you, but a piece isn't done until it's done---I could spend hours on something until it's 'right'. So, if you spent 4 hours on it, and it's $26, that means you would make about $6.50 an hour.In my opinion, that sucks. People that clean toilets make twice that amount. And this is what gets me---people don't want to pay anything for talent--they want it for nothing. I hand painted fabric wallhangings and pillows--my design--made the pillows with a fabric border, even stitched around the painting on the pillows and hangings for a 2-dimensional effect and donated them for a church fundraiser. They went so low it was insulting. It's tough to get paid for your talent. I say keep it or give it away as a gift before you let it go for nothing. You got my feathers ruffled, girl!!
