Because I can’t start painting on the mural until afternoon, I can work on a new custom oil painting in the morning.
This is for a friend of mine. This house belonged to her grandparents, and she doesn’t have many photos other than the ones taken after the house changed owners. So, I am working from mediocre photos and verbal instructions from my friend/customer. Tain’t easy, but we can do this.

“. . . working from mediocre photos and verbal instructions.” Sounds familiar!
Sharon, I am getting lots of practice at making things up and reading people’s minds. Most important is the ability to ask questions and help people know what they want.
It didn’t used to be this hard because if the photos weren’t good, I just said, “Nope, I’m not the right artist for this project.”
Yes, helping the client decide what he/she actually wants is the challenge!
