Learn How to Price Your Artwork!

As an Artisan I have always felt a bit intimidated by the process of pricing my artwork, to be sold in a myriad of places. Be it online in my own e-commerce website, or online through a third party gallery. A big one, such as DeviantArt.com Or a small scale one such as an online local artist registry.
'How much do I price my art for hanging in a local gallery?'
Seemed to be a question that was haunting me. I need to sell my artwork and during this economic depression, I need to eat too. So, back the question of pricing my work for a gallery (The sad reality on the ridiculous prices galleries charge, example, here in Southern Oregon, I inquired at a new gallery downtown, only to find that they charge a $50 hang fee per piece and 40% commission upon sale. &#*&$#^). The math does not add up here.
But I digress. So how much do we struggling artists charge for our hard earned pieces? After all the gallery did not put it's blood sweat and tears into the piece..... sooo. I have struggled with this issue in so much as to loose sleep over it. (I know, a bit to extreme, I needed to find some balance and control.)
Upon doing a bit of research I have found a couple of really good websites that helped me to figure out what to charge per piece, per square inch and in what environment. Yippie!!
Huge Credit to them for the original research.
