I have a huge dilemma when I finish a painting. Often I start a painting with the intent that I'd like to try and sell it, and or give it to someone in particular. By the time I finish it, however, I've poured hours of work and love into it, and I love the way it turned out, and I don't want to part with it! Such is my dilemma today.
Kyle's suggestion is to list paintings like this that I love on Etsy, ask a decent price (X hours labor, plus supplies) and if no one buys it, we get to keep it. According to him, it's win-win. I still hate to part with it, but we could use the money.
Whatever shall I do?

If you were to price it, what would the price be?
I still treasure the one you painted for me. Was that your last? My messy office is unworthy of it.
Not sure, Courtney! I've never actually sold one, only kept them or gave them away. I guess I need to talk to my mom (who sells paintings all the time) and do a little research. I'll get back to you!
Chase, I think that was the last one! I couldn't remember exactly when I did that. Any idea how long ago it was?
I don't remember! I'm sorry Chelsea! But it doesn't seem like it was two full years ago.
You painted me pandas for my birthday. That was a year ago last October.
Forgot about the pandas, EL. I wish I could re-do those. I was never very happy with them.
I like Kyle's idea (he is an official genius and all, right?) but if someone buys the painting, you could always go have a nice copy made at a printing place to keep for your enjoyment or a portfolio or something if someone buys the original.
I like that idea of havinf a print made, Alisha!
Amy, WHAT are you talking about? You could probably paint or draw something infinitely better!
