Isn't this really just a form of collaboration? I do like collaborative projects...<BR/>It feels different, though. <BR/>Thanks for keeping up with my "art journey" - I pop in on your site daily, too!

Commission work is so tricky & when people try to control our creative direction, things don't work. I have been doing a lot of commissions recently, and the best pieces are the ones with the the least amount of input from the buyer. I am getting better about being upfront & telling people how I see things. It feels good to speak my mind & have people trust my artistic instincts ... afterall, WE are the artists. <BR/><BR/>Your portraits are amazing & powerful & so true with the eyes in ANY which way! LOVE 'EM! :-)<BR/><BR/>And I so enjoy following your art journey through you blog. I don't always comment, but I do read! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
