I know it sounds weird, but I charge by the size of the canvas/painting. It's at least a good starting point, and the buyer can always negotiate the price. 9 x 12 =$125 11 x 14 and 12 x 16 = $225 and 16 x 20 = $325. $25 more framed. It seems pretty fair considering what I see at art shows.

Good luck!
