Unfortantly as a commerical artist every assignment you're asking your client for a judgment on what you created. Someone else's opinion is always requied. If you're painting for yourself no judgement is required from anyone else, just hang them on the wall for you, yourself to look at. If you're painting to sell, then selling requires someone elses judgement as well. The difference between a fine art and an commerical art is Fine artist paints a picture and tries to sell it. A commerical artist sells the picture then paints it.
