Commissions Can be Sticky

Commissions can be sticky, to say the least. 

I usually regret it, every time I agree to do one. 

Painting something someone else has in mind,

 kind of takes the wind out of my sails. 

But this one, I actually enjoyed doing! 

It is to be a gift for a woman who was a member 

of my garden club years ago. 

Her daughter saw this one of mine: 

Garden Club Meeting 

8 x 10 

at a mutual friend's house 

and asked me to do one like it.

Garden Tour 

8 x 10 

I included daffodils, orange day lilies, and gladiolas

(even though they are never in bloom at the same time)

because those are her Mom's favorite flowers.
