Lindy and I had planned to take a trip to France this year to attend a painting workshop at a stunning little villa. Unfortunately, things didn’t open up like we had hoped and those plans will have to remain in my dreams for a while. Instead, we decided to create our own painting adventure in Lindy’s brand new beautiful art studio.

One of the most difficult things I, and many artists struggle with, especially in the beginning is how to price artwork. Value is a pretty nebulous idea. Webster defines it, in part, as “the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.” I certainly value the time I spend learning and creating but placing a monetary figure on a finished piece? Where does one begin?

I have done craft fairs, craft booths, holiday bazaars, etc., for as long as I can remember. They were never my favorite part of the creative process, but hey, we have to support our addiction somehow, right?
