| MULTI MEDIA GIRL |
This was a girl I painted that I was fairly pleased with. Her name was Charity. I looked up the definition of charity and placed its meaning in and on the picture. My mistake began when I had a client that said she loved the painting but didn't like the saying. I can't tell you why I named her charity, but I knew that was going to be her name throughout the whole painting process. It dictated every feeling and artistic movement I made. Irregardless, no matter how I felt about it I brought the painting home and reworked the background and I put a new saying on it that I felt would have a positive impact. Guess what, the client didn't come back to buy the painting. Now although I love the saying because I only put sayings that talk to me on my work, I have a painting that I'm not excited about because I allowed a client to say what I should do on a painting. I will never do that again. It was not only hard to transform her, but it represents to me that someone else dictated my art. When I do my art I put heart and soul into my art no matter what it is and someone else changing it takes me away from my art
