What I wish I knew before??? …….is exactly what my client said to me as fear and doubt led to my procrastination on my first canvas commission. “If I didn’t think you could do the work I would have never asked you. You need to believe in yourself a little more.” Stung a little, made me chuckle at how much I appreciate her honesty, and also a sweet hug of encouragement. Truth is, once I got over myself and got into it I loved it! Both canvases I built with the help of my kind neighbor. Their size 48” x 48” seemed overwhelming for my first commission on canvas. The reality was that it was minuscule compared to what I do everyday. I could do things that I can’t do on the larger wall surfaces I am used to working on. Ah the lessons in life. I did 2 canvas’ so she could choose her favorite. “Night” and “Day”. Which one do you think she chose?
