Do you have any business advice please?

I was in a gallery. Sold 3 pieces in two months all for low four figures. Pretty good for a new gallery in town and an artist who had a long way to go before he could call himself an artist. The gallery was taking 25%. The next weekend I went in and all my paintings were off the wall. I asked. She told me a fellow artist was giving her 50 % and unless I agreed to the same my art would not be hung. I knew the artist and he had not sold a thing. I told her 25% of 3 grand was far superior to 50% of nothing, gathered up my paintings and that was the last gallery I was part of. Not worth the bullshit to me as I had a good job and selling art was only gravey. The gallery went under in less than a year. No wonder.

Pricing a painting…

I totally relate with your experience.

For the suggestions I don't know too, though, I think they are pretty close to reality.

No wonder too @Enyaw they have been pretty greedy, and the other artist did a questionable (at least) move, in my opinion.
