I never sell anything or get commissions, maybe I am still not good enough? I don’t know anymore

    Yeah it’s not my primary income since I’m working and just doing art on the side seeing how the market is going. Haven’t gotten any interest from people unfortunately and I think that is fairly good price, especially since I worked so long at it.

      A large part of the issue may be that it’s a folder.

      I’m generally buying three rings to be functional and usually hidden in a cabinet or shelf somewhere.

      If I’m going to spend on art, I want it seen. Maybe a scrapbooker would be interested, where they tend to use them as coffee table books. But, it would be a distinct shame for me to stuff work documents into.

      The painting itself is amazing. I like it. (And I actually kind of see some Where the Wild Things Are vibes… not entirely but enough for me get hit with nostalgia, heh.)

        Absolutely agreed on the “it’s a folder”. To me, that gives very “school” oriented vibes, and I know when I was in school I sure didn’t have money to spend on artful folders.

        I like the painting too but I do think op would have more success on a different canvas. That said, if you’re doing it for fun and not for money, keep it up regardless
