I think one of the worst things, particularly for a portrait artist, is to have a client come back and say they didn't like the work they received.

Today, I had one client message me that she absolutely loved her commission, and another...

...asked me to completely redo hers.

This is a conundrum because this is the third time I've redone this one. First, because his head was messed up, which I knew and fixed it, second because the post office got it wet and mailed it back to me, so I had to COMPLETELY redo it in the course of a night, and now it just wasn't what she thought it was based on the WIPs I sent her. The biggest problem is I consider her a friend...but I guess I'm a bit upset.

Now I offered to redo it in the note I sent along with it in case something happened, but I can't say I ever expected it to come back to me. Not sure what to think, do, or say.

Can't say I've ever had this happen before, but can't really vent about it in my other journal.

I'm going to redo it. I hope we can come up with a different pose and perspective, and I'll do it. I want this to work out, and I love all the positives I've received. This kind of thing makes me wonder, though, if the niceties were false and this is truly what people think.

I'm just not good enough yet.
