I don't think there's anything wrong at all with caring how much others value your work. You put a lot into each painting, so it's only natural. Just think of the inevitable auctions of your work like the "performance evaluations" so many others have to face in their regular jobs. Nobody likes them, but it feels good when you come through with all top marks, especially when it validates your efforts and may even justify a pay raise.

And if you don't get all top marks, well screw 'em, they clearly don't know what they're talking about!!
