Commission Work

I had and completed my first real commission work! It was a big step in my being able to sell my art. I sold this piece for $450 which is a steal considering it is nine feet long. But it was for a friend and he got the you-are-my-friend discount. But really I was afraid that everyone would hate me for overcharging. That is just something I need to get over. I'm happy about it though. This particular piece has deep meaning and I had a lot of fun painting it. It was defiantly different from anything I have ever done (if you look closely you can see a dove in the white and hands in the red). I am now back to my original style. Though, painting abstractly I believe has helped me simplify things a bit. Aunt Minnie- If you read my blog and I hope you do, I have started your beach painting. And just so you know, you will receive the I-love-you discount.

Just so everyone else knows the discounts will not last forever. Haha, I cant stop thinking about Flo from the Progressive commercials. Do you own a home? DISCOUNT! Are you a safe driver? DISCOUNT! I will get over the fear of overcharging.
