This month has been filled with commission pieces! Creating for a client is a pretty intense process for me... I get so excited to collaborate, to talk about the client's vision for the piece and try to see, with my creative eye, what they are describing is a challenge I love! Then something happens when I get alone with just me and the "canvas", I get a form of stage fright!! A certain tension between my artistic instinct and the clients wishes that makes me second guess myself for a bit... I take a few steps to overcome the second guessing and move forward! I review my notes & sketches from the first conversation with the client, I remember that they are having ME paint for them because they already like/love what I do, I make sure the main requested elements are present, then I follow my instincts!
Then, I paint something that I want to paint for the fun of it!!
Florida Gator 1

Thank you so much for following along!
Creatively yours,
