A couple of years ago I had a small magnolia bowl that looked too plain.
I painted the outside chinese red then gold leafed it. Now I don't know
chatoyance from al fresco, but it looked real pretty to me.
But it hasn't sold. People pick it up, ooh and ahh then set it back down
and buy a plain bowl with knots and defects in it.

I should tell you, there is no museum here, so I can't even donate it.
Guess I'll just enjoy it myself.

Well, there's two things you can do. Lower the price. It'll sell. Or
raise the price. It'll sell.

Oddest thing - sometimes if you raise the price of something people will
think it's worth more and buy it. Go figure...
