shopping for art...

what do you look for when shopping for art? do you stick with one particular medium, or do you mix things up? or maybe all of the art in your home has a specific theme? or perhaps, you are just the eclectic art collector who has a little bit of everything?

now on to the next...does price determine your purchase? how much are you willing to pay for your art? what's fair to the artist as well as the buyer? how do you determine the value of a piece?

these are the questions i have about the art industry. the drawing part is easy (at least for me), but the business end is the part i could use a little help with. so, i'll be asking some more questions to my friends out here in the art world, and see about going from there.
