Scrollers,
I just finished my first attempt at a "portrait" (the Black Lab by Leldon Maxcy) which has generated two requests for projects and their associated questions:
Appreciate the help. I'm sure the "pricing" question has been bantered about ad nauseam but a quick search didn't help much. Maybe I'm not looking at it the right way. Thanx for the help.

I just finished my first attempt at a "portrait" (the Black Lab by Leldon Maxcy) which has generated two requests for projects and their associated questions:
- The black lab was easy (black background), but now I was asked to cut the "Leaping Whitetail Buck" by Charles Dearing in the current issue of SSW. As I was looking at it, I was thinking of coloring the background as appropriate for the part of the picture (ie. blue for the water, tan for the buck, etc) as opposed to putting color on the top piece. Does anyone have any experience with that? Any ideas how that would look?
- The second question is one that I'm sure has bounced around many times. I was also asked to cut another lab for a Christmas present. Since I'm not used to selling my work I have no idea what to charge. I'm not trying to do this as a business, but I also don't want to undervalue it in case the opportunity to enter the selling mode comes down the road. Anybody out there routinely sell these portraits that would like to share their pricing rationale?
Appreciate the help. I'm sure the "pricing" question has been bantered about ad nauseam but a quick search didn't help much. Maybe I'm not looking at it the right way. Thanx for the help.
