I take issue with something I feel I can't talk to my husband about without him getting defensive and upset. After telling them about artwork I sold, suddenly several family members wanted me to make free paintings for them. They don't know how busy I am with other commissions, which are really time intensive. L, in ColoradoL: If you want to create art to give to family members as gifts, then definitely do that, but that should be up to you. If family members approach you to basically commission paintings, you could offer them a “friends and family” discount, but you must be paid for your work.
