I like those panels...But, maybe me nominating you for a Liebster award on my blog will make you a little more uplifted as well.<br /><br />Note to people thinking about making commissions: Make sure you like the style and color the artist works in before asking them to do something WAYYYYYY out of the box. Hmm. Maybe that's a little to harsh but you'd think that if ....oh nevermind!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140675211931598431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413060395202056662.post-51211673313830727562012-02-18T10:29:08.006-07:002012-02-18T10:29:08.006-07:00These panels are gorgeous and probably would have ...These panels are gorgeous and probably would have looked wonderful in the client's home... I agree with NancyD - it's her loss!I also agree with what others have said re: commission work - it's a tough business. Somehow, some clients just don't value the time & effort that goes into reaching the "final page", not to mention the frustration. I had the same problem with some of my artwork - and finally just did what you did with a client - pulled out and felt oh, so relieved. Follow your gut feeling and you're right on! I'm sure these lovely pieces of art will someday find a very good, APPRECIATIVE home!Ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150609820066935078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413060395202056662.post-21632080956398289492012-02-17T15:09:02.877-07:002012-02-17T15:09:02.877-07:00Sherrie,
