smooshed

It's hard enough when John doesn't let me take a look at work he's doing for clients.  It's devastating when he shuts me out of a painting he was doing at MY request.

Past tense.  After weeks of working on the painting, it turns out he changed the position of the boa & turned the beautifully multi-colored feathered concoction into one shade of red.  

It took him weeks to get that far, and it still was unfinished.  

Am looking for a young artist to do the painting or make a digital re-imaging.  Too bad the cure for a depleted trust account isn't so simple.  

My heart is smooshed.
