Hmmm, depends on whether you're counting portraits, still life, nature, landscapes and other forms. I sell my services for portrait work that I do on my own time when I'm not working in the studio. Occasionally some buy the artsy fartsy things I like to do. I have sold a few still life works and a few nature. Mostly to a couple of local artsier shops near where I live. I would probably try for selling more, but I live in a rural area where art is not the most appreciated thing. Personally I see nothing wrong with selling ones work. I would sell more if I could. There's always a new toy I need to buy for my gadget bag. But like most in here, making a big assumption here, I do it because it is what I enjoy doing. Pricing, hmmmm. I guess whatever you feel you can get for it. Kind of depends on where you're selling it at. Here I people hedge at spending more the 25-50 for what would sell for at least 100 or far more in larger cities.
