Thanks guys it realy is great to get all your positive comment, But I have a question for all my fellow artists and friends here on TC.
First I will state that I Paint because I love to paint and create art, and I love Tiki. I believe that artists create 1.for themselves 2. for other peoples enjoyment and 3. for money. The first two are my prime motivation but the third still comes into play in my thoughts. I realy only want to make money on my art so I can afford the hobbie, as you other artists know supplies arent cheap, although it is nice to have a couple bucks extra in your pocket at the end of the day. Also if someone is willing to fork over money for your art it is the greatest complement.
With that said, I have been haveing a hard time selling my paintings lately...I put them on ebey,post them here,Ive been puting them out in the public,like at the lucky tiki art show and I have some at my friends vintage shop,and on my site.So far not much luck.
Here is the questons
1.Am I asking to much for my art($100-$200)? If so how much do you suggest?
2.Is my art not up to par with most the other artists selling?

Thanks for your responces, your opinions mean alot to me. In the mean time Ill get back to painting..thanx...kirby
