I'm not looking for answers like it's all subjective. I'm just looking for dollar amounts. I want to find out what most people would pay for a painting of that size since that's the canvas size I've been working with a lot recently.

OH MY GOD....i honestly can't believe some of the answers! The price of art is not determined by its size.. The
price of art is determined by the effort and the skill of the artist that is put into it. medium /size have nothing to do with the price. When someone ask me how long it took me to do a painting always answer with my age.... That's how long it took you to gain the talent and the knowledge that it took to achieve that painting. If art was sold according to size the mona lisa would only be worth a few dollars...It's ignorant for someone to try to sell artwork according to size....unless your a deco-rater and are charging by the inch to paint or remodel a room! Art is an experience and not a piece of commodity sold by the square inch.

If you're just starting out and have not sold very much, pricing your work based on time, labor, and cost of materials is often the best way to go.
Set yourself a sensible hourly wage, add the cost of materials, and make that your asking price. If materials cost $50 and you take 20 hours to make the art at $15 per hour, then you price it at $350.
Don't forget the comparables, though. You still want your final asking prices to be in line with what other artists with similar credentials to yours are charging for their work.

A couple questions you can ask yourself:
1)Have you sold anything before? This is a helpful guage.
2)Has someone expressed interest in buying it? You can ask that person to make you an offer.
3)What are the materials? An oil painting would be worth more than a watercolor, for instance. (that doesn't seem fair but its just the way it is.)

BIGG AL has already provided you with a pretty good answer.
But I would like to add that the value of your art also depends on your skill level as an artist: the painting's technical skills, it's inventiveness, your use of colors, etc.
Basically, if it's not any good who will buy it? If it's good, if you know you're good, the issue changes. What you can charge then depends on who will see it, who really loves it enough to buy it and their own ability to pay a little more for it.
Can you post a copy of it for us to see?

it really depends on your artwork , your location , and the economy .
$75- seems reasonable .............although it will depend on the demand . there is a guy in new york city , who specializes in small affordable canvases . he turns about 200 paintings a day ,
and only charges $10 to $20 bucks each . his thing is volume ......
decide how you will market them , and get them into people's collections . you can always raise your prices when you have built a following , and become more popular .
best of luck !

Bigg Al above is right. I'd have to like the painting. If I did, I might pay more.
