I've had several people tell me they love my work and that I should be selling it, so I'm thinking of getting a booth at a couple of Craft & Artisan Faires to sell some of my pastel paintings. What is the best, least expensive way of displaying artwork for sale while protecting my work. Do I really need to go into the expense of framing every painting? I was thinking that I could possibly get them all matted and on backing board with glass and do a frameless thing. I don't know how expensive that would be.

The main thing is to be sure everything is protected from curious fingers yet able to be displayed attractively.

The other thing is how do you price your paintings? I don't want to price myself out of the market but I don't want to give my work away either.
