How does an artist identify his/her own work as commercial or not? I used to think that I painted what I liked...but when I started comparing my stuff to others (probably a big mistake, but how does one learn?) mine seemed to be a candidate for "most likely to be seen on a greeting card"

Opinions? Commerical or not?
On the other hand, I've been turned down by a couple of art printers/ distributors because it isn't "commercial enough"...not enough mamma's holding babies, little kids wearing basketball jersey's, or chocolate-dipped versions of European art, ballerinas, butterflies, etc.
