I've always liked jigsaw puzzles, for the challenge. 1000 pieces! Bring it on! The picture on the box is worth those hours, right?
Because even when you know what it's going to look like, the process of getting there makes it that much more appealing, even with the impatience and frustration.
I decided I wanted to paint. Becoming a painter is my picture on the box, and a year ago I dumped the pieces out and spread them across the world.
I started with the edges, scoping out the parameters of my task. Easier to find and build from than, say, a mass of various color that is supposed to be rippling water.
But now that that is done, where should I go next? The farmhouse on the left? The river across the bottom? The mountain on the right?
Oh! Decisions, decisions!
