I just completed this huge commission for a wonderful couple. Commissions are good for the artist's mind. You have to find a way to be true to your art,while still fitting it in the confines of the customer's requests. For example, I was told what size, color and composition they desired for their setting- then I was given total freedom. I liked the challenge of being "inspired" while keeping within the "lines."
Art is like that, sometimes you do it for yourself and others like it. Sometimes you do it for others and it ends up being for yourself!
