Today ,having left 3 commissioned portraits paintings with the client ,to live with for a while;I have heard that she doesn't want any of them ,a bit of a blow ,but then I do understand that this is bound to happen once in a while . It s a learning curve I am telling myself ,at least I get to keep the paintings and maybe although she has nt identified with them ,that dose nt make them bad paintings;in fact I think they are ok paintings ,they certainly took a great deal of time and energy to paint .So here they are tell me what you think .I am ok with it it s part of the deal that if they a client does nt like them they dont have to have them ,I think thats fair .
Billie I don't think there is anything wrong with the paintings and can't really understand why the lady didn't like them, maybe she had a very specific idea about what she wanted and didn't know how to verbalise it to you...?? I had that problem many times working as an interior designer, but as you say it is part of the learning proces. Silvi
ReplyDeleteI think they are highly evocative, especially the completed profile. It’s a shame the client didn’t want them, but on the other hand you must have a lot of very satisfied customers!
