I happened by your blog through Leah of Creative Everyday when I saw your comment about your project you are doing. <BR/><BR/>Pricing for me is very challenging as well. One day, I decided to price a larger work a bit more than I had normally priced my pieces to truly reflect a 'bit' closer to what I feel it's worth and to my astonishment, I sold it. Now mind you, I hope to raise my prices as I get better and better at what I do so eventually I can paint for a living rather than for extra money and a whole lot of satisfaction--still, I have a hard time valuing my work, yet I don't want to just scrape by either.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you as you finish up this commission!Jodi Ohlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17051065416287643076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-50208606013285378902008-06-22T11:47:00.000-05:002008-06-22T11:47:00.000-05:00shit girl-this post just landed right smack in the...shit girl-this post just landed right smack in the middle of my chest with a tingling achey sort of way. It is pushing me in an area I feel tender about. I have been bustiong my butt getting a portfolio together. I have felt good about it, but now I am ready for payed work-and money-with it comes insecurity that I am charging too much, that I won't get booked. Then I realize I have advertised either....... ahhhhh more to contemplate...thanks love...I mean it:)Colorsonmymindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424878757140605099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-6240053389486710982008-06-14T13:03:00.000-05:002008-06-14T13:03:00.000-05:00Hi Jessie,Thanks for your comment.

Problem was 'entrepreneur' eventually got in the way of 'letters' and they weren't fun any more. Looking forward to seeing how yours develops.<BR/><BR/>-- DonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-83007374427257221172008-06-13T19:27:00.000-05:002008-06-13T19:27:00.000-05:00hello jessie, one of my favorite things is to visi...hello jessie, one of my favorite things is to visit your blog after a time when i haven't for a while. i love scanning down and seeing what you've been spiritually and visually up to. <BR/><BR/>you are now a public artist. no way around it. i am thrilled for you. <BR/><BR/>:)kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-8207413318851580532008-06-13T11:30:00.000-05:002008-06-13T11:30:00.000-05:00Undervaluing myself in almost every aspect is one ...Undervaluing myself in almost every aspect is one of my big challenges, as you know.
