Pricing paintings

Hey, looking for some help in pricing up some of my paintings. I paint in acrylics and usually on large canvases and I love having them up in my home, however I've had interest in some. I've only sold up to a2 size watercolours and usually price them on materials used but due to the size, time and effort I just don't know how to price the acrylics. I've attached some pictures of my paintings, they usually take between 1 and 5 months to finish and I just don't want to undersell myself. Thanks!

Have you had a look on Etsy to see what other type of paintings sell for?

I sell my paintings. I work out the price of the materials and hours I have spent on them. There are some that haven't necessarily taken me long, but that I love so sometimes I just ask myself, how much would it take for me to be parted from this painting?

@Thingsthatgo I do get quite attached to some, my soldier is one I'd have real trouble parting with. It'd have to be a very good offer before that goes. I've noticed the moment you say a price people act shocked, they don't realize the time and effort that goes into it.

And Etsy is something I've looked into, I could do with setting up a shop really.
