I couldn’t be happier with my pieces. Best wishes Mike. Again I’d love to set you up a show in KC. Let me know what your interest would be and we’ll get it done.

Anyone at the event who passes on your opportunity would be foolish to do so. I participate with festivals and since my work is admittedly average, I sell matted 8×10 glossy $15-$25 dependent upon subject and do my own finishing as well. People seem to really go for time of day (sunrise, sunset) as well as lightning at night. I often see people selling matted images as small as 5×7 that are better than mine but not nearly as good as yours for between $15 and $40. Should you later decide to jury into art festivals, know that you are sitting on a gold mine.

Hi Paul, that is interesting feedback, I appreciate your response. We will see how fair these prices are depending on how well they sell. If I end up selling everything off the shelf, then I probably set some prices too low, especially signed/numbered editions! First time at this, so we’ll see… this is a learning experience! I buy my supplies online and do my own matting and framing, so that’s one reason for the pricing, the other being I want people to own my art -Mike U

Wow Mike, your prices are extremely generous! Even at twice the posted amount, I would expect you to do well. I wish I was going just for the sake of this opportunity. Your work is simply the best, good luck to you.
