I am a pastel painter living in Massachusetts. I decided to join the "daily painting" movement after reading about Duane Keiser, Justin Clayton and other artists who are sharing their work at affordable prices on the web. Buying a painting can be quite an investment considering the commission that many galleries add to the price of a painting. Commissions can range anywhere from 20 to 60% forcing the artist to raise her price. Avoiding the middle man benefits both the artist and buyer. I started my own "daily painting" project on September 9, 2006 and plan to continue. Each painting can be purchased directly through Pay Pal or bid on through EBay.
