All Finished!

"Busy Day"
Acrylic Abstract 48" x 72"
Sold.

I am delivering this painting to a fabulous interior designer tomorrow who will then ship this painting to London. As you can imagine, this commission was well outside of my comfort zone. I was a bit nervous taking on the commission. It's a very large painting (4' x 6') and not a style or color palette I normally paint. But I loved every minute of it. I love the finished painting. And so does the client!

It's important to allow yourself the creative freedom to try different things. Don't hesitate to accept a challenge that is different. Be willing to try things that you aren't comfortable with. Realize that you can excel doing things you don't normally do.

That's why we are artists. We get to think outside of the box all of the time.

I would love to hear how you would handle a client NOT liking a finished commission piece. This is the fear I have about commissions.

Congrats on this successful commission!

Beautiful painting, you continue to inspire me. I have been listening to your Podcast as I drive to my workshop. It fits perfectly in the time slot an hour away. Your podcasts are very motivating. Thank you for sharing all your great information.
