There is a difference between shyness and fear.
In the past, I often fear buyers would reject
my artworks for being too realistic with too accurate likeness of the subject.
I told them I’m just an art-maker, not a plastic surgeon. What I see is what they
get. Now for commissioned work, I’d add a no-refund policy with payment upfront
before I start my paint brush. It’s take it or leave it. No money back!
