This is similar to when someone asks me to repeat a joke that I made a few nights before...people will ask you to repeat it thinking that its a slot machine that always pays off and that they can just pull the lever and out comes the money...but part of being someone with a creative center is knowing that sometimes you pull the lever and it doesnt pay every time...

Rebecca, I know just what you mean. I did a solo show recently under a very tight deadline and more than half the works came out shit. Never again will I do something like that. I need time to live with a piece, and work it over a period of time. Work for hire has always been difficult for me simply because of deadline pressure. Don't get me wrong, I'm very fast when it comes time to actually executing something, I just think about them for a long time first.

Nicely organized image - excellent background (and how it works with the dog), and I love the vertical and how the elements work with the symmetrical form. Double points for making a picture of a dog that's not cute or sentimental.
