I got my first ever commissioned piece last night and SO many emotions are rushing through my body! Excitement, joy, wild happiness AND fear, insecurity and doubt! Not only fears and doubts surrounding the idea of my piece not living up to my clients‘ expectations, but also that niggling little voice in the back of my head that says “It’s your best friend who commissioned the piece… does that REALLY count?”
And then I remembered, there are ALWAYS going to be nay-sayers in our lives… INCLUDING our own inner critic and I remembered that I’m choosing to build myself up.
SOOOOOOOOOOO to that inner voice I say:
“It counts”
“A commission is a commission”
“I’m blessed to have people in my life who validate and love and support me”
“My art is going to hung on the walls of people I know and I can see it literally happening in front of my own eyes”
And I celebrate this win! My VERY FIRST COMMSION! AHHHHHH! Lol 🥳🥳🥳
