I generally go out sell directly to the world in a couple of places in the Dallas Texas area. I have a modest following, but manage to sell around 300 original pieces a year (30% is 48"x48" or larger, the rest is smaller pen and inks). And before anyone thinks I'm rolling in cash, the averge price for a 60"x48" original is $190. However this summer my multiple full time jobs got super busy and I didn't go out and sell for now nearly 3 months. During that time I've created over 280 new original pen and inks and 25 large canvas pieces. Now my marketing question....
I'm about to start going back out and selling art, but I have never had more than 60 smaller pieces out at a time. Even when I setup a 10x20 tent space, 60 has been max. If I take 300 pieces out, and they are ALL original one-offs, does this dilute my arts' appeal to the public? Rarity has an appeal, and I sometimes think the public like the idea that we ponder and struggle over every piece. But I can sit on the couch and kickout 6 12"x12" originals every evening without struggle. I put these types in inexpensive frames and sell for $40 each (for reference). Quick photo atttached.
BTW: I know my art is very average, and will probably never get better. It is what it is. So please no comments that I'm selling too cheaply. Thanks for feedback )

Addendum: I also meant to include that this question also pertains to social media... posting a picture of a few pieces with a table behind them stacked waist high with new art and saying "almost 300 new pieces will be on display this weekend..."
