Commissioned work.  I love them, yet hate them at the same time.  I'm thrilled that someone likes my work, and the fact that I'm going to actually be paid for doing something I love.  But, I also find it very scary, and I end up putting it off.  It's always the big "WHAT IF" looming over me.  What if they don't like it?  What if it ends up not looking like the one she saw at Blair's that I did?   What if .....

So, what did I do instead?  Something totally unrelated.  The result was "Why Not".  I had a half painted canvas sitting around my house for about 2 months because I hated where it was headed.  So, around 10:30 at night, I thought about what a fellow artist told me, that it was only canvas.  I said to myself, "why not", and started slapping white paint on it.  I finished around 1:30 am.  I actually liked the result.

However, the dreaded commission work is still there waiting to be done.   Maybe I'll call it  "Procrastination".
