this is a fantastic piece of work! as a writer, i always find it fascinating that artists create something on canvas and then release it out into the wild. it's the ONLY version of it and then it's out the door. for me, i own all the original writing, so everything of mine is simply copied; there's no real loss for me when i sell my work as i still retain it in its unique form. i don't know that i'd be able to get rid of my visual works the way you all do. must be something of a tough process, especially with a piece as wonderful as this one is.
Cheers @bucho! And thank you for the resteem! =)
Yes, first time around it was really hard to let my painting go. But I soon realised it is a rather cathartic process, very freeing. Sometimes you hear back again, when the owners randomly send you a message and photo of how happy they are. Its nice to know that something you've created is constant part in someone's life.
I guess for you as a writer the satisfaction is to see your work replicated.
