So you're this experienced, right, and charging from $200? What, for a
10"x12" acrylic? Either that, or you're self-taught (i.e. "outsider"). Tell me, I
have just got to know!

Let's not be too harsh..we had to start somewhere! But really Ryan,
people that have the affluence to appreciate art and purchase it assume
they will have to pay for the experience you are espousing. Your fee
would hardly pay for a worthy frame these days. :) Larry

I would like to have my girlfriend's photo (nude) painted on canva size
24"x36". I would like to know how much would it coast and how long does it
take. Post a sample
Thank you.

It was just a confusing "advertisement." First, she's experienced (this was the
adjective that threw me). Then, she asks for practically nothing (at least as far
as oil paintings are concerned)...I was a bit confused. Also, affluent people don't
buy $200 artworks. They have better things to do with their time, I'm sure, like
make more money or something...
I was only trying to help her clarify her statement! Aw, hell, I'm so confused I
don't even know what I'm doing anymore.
