Commissions

Last night I received the honor of creating a commissioned painting, and felt immense gratitude to include another person in my creative process. I've never had a bad experience with commissions, but sometimes I've felt like my freedom was being limited. It's an illusion, however; freedom is a state of mind. I don't think we (artists) ever create art solely for ourselves. It's impossible. Refuting this is like being suicidal.
