    Well said, Richard. For those of us who do not own retail stores,
    this is a very viable way of getting the exposure we need, without
    the monthly rent. Like you noted, many artists have to use many
    different combinations of things to sell their work. I do artist
    coops (low percentage in exchange for working a few shifts),
    consignment, paying rent in a gallery with 10% taken from the sale,
    and shows. Pricing, argh... always difficult- but it really makes you
    think about reality. What is too high? What is just not acceptable
    below "this " price... etc... We all want the pieces to move, and in
    my experience, when someone falls in love with it, they will buy it.
    Many may just admire it. (and I suppose many may scoff), oh well.
    After all, it is art, you either see it or you don't. 

    In conclusion, what I really meant to say is that ALL the exposure
    you get helps to create a desire for your work, in my opinion, which
    will help your sales in the long run.
