For the first time I felt like… ok, maybe I can do this. She was entered and accepted into my first ArtPrize, she became my “logo,” my identity for a while, when I was still going by Jennifer Anne, she traveled with me to live painting events, and I vowed to never sell her, joking that I’d only take one million dollars;)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShe came to be because of a dream (nightmare, I suppose), a dark children’s story, the inspiration of Kees van Dongen, and finally, a challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShe’s a self-portrait. She represents a lot to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd so, back to the “what is art worth” question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn the not-so-distant past, I let fairly large and complex paintings go for about $100-150. Paintings that now I’d price at 10-20X as much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI decided one day that I needed to raise my prices. It didn’t really feel like a decision, though. I felt I could not continue if I let them go for a hundred bucks. So I raised them, with the understanding that they may not sell at all, ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd then someone decided they were worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere was no guarantee of that, they could change their mind at any time, and no one else may ever think so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut I carry on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd I was reminded today of the value I placed on \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e𝑮𝒊𝒓𝒍\u003c\/span\u003e, all those months ago, and I decided, that even though it looks absolutely INSANE, I will finally list her on my site… at a 50% discount for a limited time;)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShe will sit for eternity, but that’s ok. I’m going to continue to decide what my art is worth, even if no one agrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAcrylic on wood, July 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"jinny.co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49655712710727,"sku":null,"price":500000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8840\/1223\/files\/IMG_7656.heic?v=1791493738","url":"https:\/\/jinny.co\/products\/the-green-girl-with-the-ribbon-original-painting-by-jinny","provider":"jinny.co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
