Remember this painting?

It just hit me out of the blue that the commissioner still hasn't paid for it.
Unfortunately, the only way I can contact the commissioner is through her daughter, my close friend Bec.
Bec doesn't want to pass on any messages, contradictory to what we agreed on earlier..... which she has obviously forgotten.
So, once again I have put in an effort, worked through the night with screams and threats thrown at me to the point that I was crying most of the time. (we where in the process of moving and where leaving the very next day)
But, despite all of my hard work, a painting has left me and the money hasn't been received.
The main thing that bothers me is that my friend blatantly refuses to pass the message on that I haven't been paid yet.
It really bothers me, I feel like I've been used and then, someone who I thought was a close friend has betrayed me.
It's not a nice feeling.
Doing that painting took away a night that i will never get back, it caused arguments to arise and I have nothing to show for my hard work.
In other news, the person who is holding the painting (on the other side of the country) is saying that he loves it and that it brightens up his rather dull room.
It's nice, because I really wanted to create something to bring a little bit of colour into someone else's life. Being back stabbed is a downer, but knowing that Gani appreciates what I put into that paining makes it allot better.
Fuck, I miss him so much. He said he would come to visit some time, i'm really looking forward to it!
Anyways, all I wanted was for someone to love that painting and thats happened. I don't care about the money (although it would help allot, I'm sick of borrowing from my parents to pay for collage!).
I do care that Bec has failed to rise up when I needed her, this whole thing is more than just an unfortunate ending for a painting, it may very well be an ending of a friendship.
Bec has let me down plently of times, but I know how much she has been though so I try to just shrug it off because I know that all of my bad experiences couldn't even begin to add up to her unfortunate past... but i'm sick of listening and never being listened to. I can't talk to her when i'm down, because the conversation will always go back to her problems.
Her problems are worse than mine, but that doesn't make mine worthless.
I just don't think I can talk to her after realizing all of this.... I wouldn't seem right pretending that it doesn't bother me.
I've tried to talk to her plenty of times, but half the time I get a one worded response and a change of subject. A sentence or two if I'm lucky.
Bec, if you're reading this. I don't want to talk about it, I've already said enough in this journal. Sure, theres more but i'll save it for another time....
Now that you know whats going on in my head I wouldn't remind a response.

it's great to hear from you, I have some funny news about that guy who faked digital paintings from photos.
It turns out that the flower one was cloned in painter by ANOTHER person. I saw the exact same picture in a magazine, I do believe he just scanned the picture and submitted it.
rofl
the guy can't even clone his own work!

How are you ??

love me love me love me
Long time no chat.
Awesome new work by the way
I'm shocked to hear about your paintings going off and not receiving your well deserved cash :<
Maybe you should get the money first, then send the painting?
The same thing happened to a brother of mine

You have some fantastic work in your gallery and i'm sure you could make some money out of it.
My best advise for you would be to do colored canvass paintings or print your digital work onto gloss posters.
Once you've gathered up a nice stack of prints and paintings go to the local market and hire a stall. They usually cost around $15-$30 depending on the area and size.
I personally have never hired a stall, but I've met plenty of people who make a killing out of selling their art like that
Selling online is also a great idea because you don't have to go to all the effort of getting everything printed out (unless you are working from your very own website) Unfortunately, because the internet is so massive you would have to be very lucky to make much money out of it.
Almost all of my commissions have been the case of 'I know this girl who has this friend who wants a painting' so I suppose it's also a good idea to get out and socialize every now and then. Also, offer a piece or two to the local art gallery exhibition. If they accept you it's great advertisement.
I hope that helps
