Hope I get to see the finished piece before you deliver it. Have you gotten a new camera? Your pictures seem to be so crisp lately.

Kim Hambric said...: Dianna, I'm assuming you have far more experience doing commissions than I have. How can you let a client know they are going the wrong way colorwise without insulting them? I am working on a smallish commission that is eating up huge amounts of time (and money). The client insists on far too many dark dismal colors & I think she would be really disappointed with the results. She has sent 20 photos of things to match in her room and 30ish samples of embroidery thread to match. How can I gracefully steer her in what I think is the right direction? Can I even do that? I am so frustrated and lost. Can this commission be saved!!!; 4:27 AM
Karen said...: Wow! these leaves are stunning! I love your color sense, This is going to be beautiful.; 2:16 PM

Not sure if I'm getting what I say across, but just want you to know - you are AWESOME!

Favorite Quotes

Wine is sunlight held together by water. -- Galileo

Self-doubt can be an ally. This is because it serves as an indicator of aspiration. It reflects love, love of something we dream of doing, and desire, desire to do it. If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), "Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?" chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death. -- Steven Pressfield, from "The War of Art."

I think every artist who succeeds (in their own terms) has some ability to keep moving forward in the face of constant obstacles...emotional, mental, financial, physical...and that is what sets them apart from all the others who have tried and quit. This is also what sets them apart from those who always talk about trying or starting but never get beyond the talking stage. -- Nancy Crow, from "Nancy Crow."

The biggest thing separating people from their artistic ambitions is not a lack of talent. It's the lack of a deadline. Give someone an enormous task, a supportive community, and a friendly-yet-firm due date, and miracles will happen. -- Chris Baty, from "No Plot, No Problem."
