Freedom

It is always an interesting journey when someone commissions you to do a painting for them and they give you general colors and an idea of what they like. This is so much more difficult because all my pieces are originals and to try and duplicate them is nearly impossible. There is the tension of will they like it even though it's the colors they want but the painting went in a different direction then they may imagine. I don't know if it is possible as an artist to just create pieces and people will buy them or to have to do original art work for other people, maybe that is where my confidence as an artist needs to grow. To be commissioned to paint is an amazing opportunity and I need to remember that my pieces are original and different because I created them.. Still figuring this one out.
