Dear Amazon-Giant-Global-Retailer-internet-TROLLS and/or NON-Amazon-Giant-Global-Retailer-internet-TROLLS-who toll our site "daily"-FOR HOURS-HOURS IS NOT A METAPHOR!-several times each day [!] United States-Obama-Administration-National Security Agency [NSA] spies and/or Government of China 24/7 surveillance "spies":
We "understand" that laypersons outside of "the art world" "the history-of-art world" may-perhaps-be _UNFAMILIAR_ with the by "now" "ancient" professional artistic "tradition" of ART COMMISSIONS.  "When" an art commission "happens" a person-typically a NON-artist-but occasionally a fellow-artist-a musician-a composer of verses-a composer of music-a doctor-a lawyer-a candlestick-maker" finds" an artist-whose work is admired-and asks the afore-mentioned artist:  "How much will it cost?-for you to make a CUSTOM painting of fill-in-the-blank-by the person making requesting the commissioned work of art " "made-to-order"-with a "specific time frame" and "definite" "specific" and/or HIGHLY-SPECIFIC "subject matter" pertinent to the person COMMISSIONING the work of art.  A "price-tag"-agreeable to both parties-is agreed upon-sometimes in writing-sometimes simply a verbal agreement on a hand-shake.Once the work of art is safely delivered to the person who COMMISSIONED the work of art-then the artist is paid-the agreed-upon-amount.  SADLY "we" have felt "trolled"-based on _STRANGE_ "communications" from "mysterious sources" making statements SUCH AS:  "Dr. Gunasegaram:  We have "noticed" your _DESPERATE_ interest in BABY-WIPES-tissues"-and yes! the image [above] DOES depict a commonly-sold brand of tissues - generally used for cleaning up messes and/or during sneezing fits during cold+flu season.  TRAGICALLY FOR THE RELENTLESS-SEEMINGLY-UBIQUITOUS-INTERNET TROLLS - TRAGICALLY for "the world" TRAGICALLY for ALL women and girls in calendar year 2016 [twenty-sixteen]:  Dr. Gunasegaram has _ZERO_ "interest" in baby wipes.  "Naturally" as "an ethnic South-Asian-FEMALE" "the world"~including close-immediate-family members-male and female appear _NOT_ TO CARE _PROFOUNDLY_ that there are 7.2 BILLION [with a "b"-a one hundred percent UNsustainable number!] of inhabitants on earth "today":     https://www.cnn.com/2011/10/31/opinion/turner-7-billion/index.html     MORE THAN HAVE _LIVED_ IN ALL OF RECORDED HUMAN HISTORY PUT TOGETHER [!] and has made a deliberate _CHOICE_ NOT to procreate [!]  Yes!  Imagine!  There is a choice! and it need NOT be an UN-GODLY "choice!" ye-gads!  So PLEASE! _INSTEAD_ of "trolling" women and girls' online sites-based on 100% [one hundred per cent] ERRONEOUS [in The USA State of Pennsylvania, USA the powers-that-be call this sort of thing "ignorant!"] "information" _ENCOURAGE_ the "creative SPIRIT" ALIVE and _MORE_ than "existing" in _all_ women+girls in calendar year 2016 [twenty-sixteen] _POINTING_ out TO ALL WOMEN+GIRLS OF TWENTY-SIXTEEN [!]:  "Creativity" does not _HAVE_ to be "biological" and "limited" SOLELY+ONLY to the "female biological apparatus!"  In the _SPECIFIC_ art commission  above: 
Beverly Adler's Pink Grand Blossom:  Portrait ©2013 Falconer/Gunasegaram~the person who MADE THE ART COMMISSION is a _GRANDMOTHER_ known to the artist _PROFESSIONALLY_ who asked for this _SPECIFIC_ IMAGE_.  The "image" on a completed-to-the-person-paying-for-the-art's-satisfaction is _GENERALLY_ "a subject" and/or "subjects" _NOT_ "generally" "known" and/or not "always" _LIKED_ "by" "the creative artist" generating the specific commissioned work of art.  We trust you~the reader~to understand our main point~and also the "variations" that may/may not ensue.
