Some issues about cut & paste, perfectionism and friends!





I had most interesting days in the middle of this week! I finally decided to correct one of my Santorini drawings (uppermost) by first cutting away the spoiled sky (2nd photo). After that, I was in wondering: how shall I continue? There were four (4) background colours to serve as bottom of the final work (three blue tones and white), several combinations of these tones to present the sea and the sky (means at least ten alternatives together), several levels of horizon (if any)...A problem for a perfectionist of some sort (two examples in 3rd and 4th photos)!

I am a lucky person, however: I have friends who can help me in artistic questions! A "pop-up FaceBook Art Group" was easy to open by just wondering these alternatives in my own FB profile. Soon there were friends like Arja, Hannele, Irmeli, Leena, Liisa, Marju, Petteri, Riitta, Sanna, Tarmo and Ville helping me withe their comments!

The final decision is depending on myself, of course - but those hints, given by my friends, were really "refreshing"! Thank you all for your assistance! Friends are most valuable asset in everyones life!
