I don't find it weird. I would have thought that some artists maybe don't like to look at their own artwork :) It's like the actors who don't like to see them in a movie :) I don't know how it feels as I'm neither of them but I can imagine that some of them are like this..

I'm happy that you're finally going to have a painting on your wall. And a very nice one! It makes me feel like I was on vacation which is never a bad idea :)

Thank you for sharing and have a great day!
