12x16" 30x40cm acrylic on hardboard

One of the benefits of painting on hardboard is it's affordability. I paid less than $4 for a 2x4 foot sheet of hardboard the last time I bought some, and since I can get six boards this size out of it, I have less than $1 invested in this piece of artwork, paint included, which I will gladly sell to you for $100K; a nice Apple-like margin.

The real value, however, is that I'm free to paint a piece like this; to just play around with paint and color without worrying about wasting a much more expensive canvas on it. I suppose it could be argued that it gives me a license to put out slapdash rather than thoughtful paintings, but then slapdash is pretty much my style.
