Worth It
People are so quick to undermine the work of others. If any of these commenters really thought about what goes behind making a live painting, maybe they wouldn’t be so “shocked” at the prices. Just imagine trying to do a live painting during the chaos that is a wedding and get a spectacular result at the end. It’s not easy and it’s certainly worth $1000.
Someone was rude enough to add that they would consider it if it was Picasso. Thankfully, a sensible commenter reminded them that the least expensive Picasso painting was sold for $45 million. They then added that while it was okay to not have the budget for something, we need to start valuing artists and their work. We couldn’t agree more.
