I'm currently working on what (for me) amounts to my first requested work! I have been given the task of coming up with a piece of work that needs to comply to a specified criteria (subject, size etc) for a private commission to be completed by a certain date.
Commission is perhaps not the correct term as it is a private work to be handed over as part of a gift but that having been said, for me it is the nearest thing to doing a (commissioned) piece & I am quite flattered that I have been asked to do it. It is also an essential learning experience for me to come up with something from scratch & before a deadline!
So far all is going to plan.
David.
