Pricing Update

14. May 2009 by Marie Pinschmidt.

Dear friends,

Some of you have asked about the pricing for paintings in our present economy. Should prices fluctuate for art the same as for other commodities?  I have given this much thought and have come to the conclusion that asks the question: Why shouldn’t it? We all want to get the most for our dollar. You may ask, “But what about those who have paid top dollar for your art?” Let’s face it; the value of stocks and bonds, gold, automobiles, real estate, etc. goes up and down depending on the market. Although paintings and other works of art are usually considered luxuries, their value on the open market also changes. Since I, as an artist and writer, can purchase almost any item from clothing to real estate at a much reduced price, why shouldn’t I offer the same courtesy to my clients?  Therefore, the price of all paintings listed on my web site are negotiable, a number of them reduced to half price. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have. Some of the paintings are small and make great gifts. And remember that an oil painting will not wear out like a new sofa or automobile. It withstands the test of time and continues to give joy indefinitely. Hopefully, the monetary value will increase as well.  

Anyone wishing an autographed copy of my books will also be rewarded. If you purchase “Maggie’s Retreat” or “Man on the Balcony” you will get both for the price of one ($18.00 including postage). This will apply only to books ordered through my site. So call 561-624-9003 or e-mail me at MariePin001@comcast net, with your mailing address and check.  The autographed books are suitable for all audiences and therefore make great gifts. Get a head start on birthdays or Christmas.

My third book, “Spanish Moss” is almost ready for the printer, so watch my website for the publication date.

My wish for all of you is good health and prosperity in these unsettled times.

Marie
