Art is harder to sell in poor economic times. Some people live in uncertainty and have to pay the mortgage and buy the groceries long before they even think about buying art. I'm talking about the average working person. Even pricing your paintings low, under a hundred dollars, won't get sales.
Commissioned works such as homes, portraits, pets and other subjects have a much more lucrative market in good or bad times. People are not buying on a whim when they order commissioned artwork. They have had time to think it out and budget for the work accordingly. The artist can offer payments which may be more convenient for the client.
