I was commisioned to paint a cast allumimum cast sea turtle.This is a huge chariety/social event like the cows in Chicago. Well it has ended up being all trouble. The man that bought the turtle gave it tohis ex-wife to paint. Well I didn't know anything more so I painted it. when I took it to the gallery I was told unless he paid me a minimum of so many dollars it would not be used.When he wastold that he apparently called the Gallery owner and totally absued her verbally.I am still shocked and horrified. I called him and offered to buy the turtle from him. He agreed. Then he called back and said his bosses would pay me so take him the turtle. this is what I must decide. 1. take the turtle collect the money. 2. Keep the turtle and sponser it myself ( knowing he will go insane) 3. Take him the turtle with all my work removed.4. If he sponsers the work I will feel ashamed to be connected to him. I don't like being around anything so trashy as him consider so out ofcontrol.

I think it's going to depend on what your priorities are. If it's important to you to have your work displayed, one of the two of you will have to sponsor it. You don't seem to want anything to do with him, so you would have to sponsor it yourself. Or, if it's not a piece that's really that important to your portfolio, I'd just remove your work and give it back. Of course, you'd have to refund anything he paid you if you went that route.

I have difficulty following your story. A man bought the turtle and his ex wife ended up with it, to paint. How could you have painted it then? And there's the rest of the story that is equally confused. Sorry...can't follow, can't help.
