Monetary Value

When my photo teacher from a year ago asked to purchase one of my paintings from the Sicily show I was thrilled. Thanks to her class I felt more confident in my voice as an artist than I ever had. I didn't just want to sell the painting, I wanted to sell it to her because I felt she appreciated where I was coming from. I didn't know how much to charge her. My father suggested 300 so I went with that. Tonight I asked her, seeing as much time has passed, if she was still interested. She said "too pricey." I didn't know what to say. I mean fuck, I don't know what the monetary value of my work is! I didn't mean to ask for too much! I don't even know what too much is! I hope I didn't come across as arrogant and I'm angry at myself for caring. I told her I'd lower the price and after an awkward pause she said to email her. I don't know if I'll bother selling it now. All I know is that I currently feel a bit awful.
