It's never too late! I'm almost 50 and have only been actively selling for about 3 years now. My stuff usually runs in the $400 and up range, mostly depending on the size. Pickenpaugh I'm very familar with and even own a couple of pieces of his earlier work. Shacks and historical stuff (especially Delta-related) are one of my soft spots. Any kind of sense-of-place stuff. And I envy anyone who can paint with watercolors.
