I have lately noticed that you can just charge whatever you want. That is whatever the market will bear. I've been selling my work in galleries for nearly 30 years and my prices have slowly increased to what they are now. Along the way, I've done my share of national shows and painted lots of paintings of CEO's etc.

Yet, I have recently seen painters brand new to the market put their prices about 80% of mine and actually begin selling. It surprised me that they can do this but it works. There is something to be said for not being too cheap.
