Figure out what you'd want for the piece. Then double it because the gallery will take around 50% of the list price. Then add another 25% to cover taxes. If that price still feels that it would be within reason for what a person would pay for an unknown artist, then go for it.

Otherwise, look around and check out what the marketplace is like for your type of work. You may find that selling original pieces of your work isn't going to cut it. It could be that selling illustration is a better market for your work. Check out libraries and bookstores for text books that feature flowers or plants. Pick up a few books on licencing. That may be another good market for your work (calanders, greeting cards, etc.)

Just because you have a product doesn't mean you have a business. At this point, I wouldn't even be thinking about price if I were you. I would thinking about what kind of business plan I would need to get going? Who do I sell to? What do I sell them? How do I sell it to them? Where do I sell it from? How do I keep up with inventory? How do I promote myself? How do I pay taxes? How do I send my clients my art (Digital or actual shipping of original pieces)? Which markets are paying enough to keep me going? Which ones aren't? How much time do I need to invest in the business end of my art? How much time do I need for making new art? Will I have any time left for the rest of my life?

When you get all these things figured out, then what price your work needs to be should be obvious.

That's really good work. However, there isn't that great a market for water colors or drawings so, sadly, you're going to have to price them much lower than a similarly sized oil painting. Frankly, I think the best pricing advice is to see what the other local artists charge for similar work. As far as discounting your work it's always best to offer the distcount on a future purchase. In other works if somebody wants 10% off tell them it applies to their second purchase from you. In addition it you want to have the flexibility of haggling set a firm limit to how far you'll go and when somebody reaches it let them know it.

For your kind of decorative work it seems there would be many different kinds of places you could show/sell it. Library was mentioned, I think that's a good idea. Also, maybe coffeeshops, furniture store, doctor's offices, curio shops.
