I understand more now. The between is where my muse is and never fails to give a satisfying creative experience. The focus dimension is where other’s are pleased with the result but not as fun to paint. More like work. I try to push myself that side as a challenge but it’s just not as much fun. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Etc etc etc. Thank you, Päivi, for everything you’ve been teaching us about art, and life. I’m so happy to be in your group, even though I don’t have much time to paint or draw. I do enjoy reading your posts on ‘Peony and Parakeet’, and I love to look at the work of others in the Facebook group.

The colors you and Edelfelt chose are like a warm hug!
