Paint spatters
I like this a lot, including the yellow in the upper left corner. Taken backstage before my nieces' Nutcracker performance, it is a wall against which many sets must have been painted.
Today, I had to cut an essay down by 40%. The first 20% may have improved it; by 30%, I was losing content and it was getting dense. The last 10% was hard. I should have cut 10% more to meet the "suggested guidelines", but I didn't. If "suggested guidelines" really means "rigidly enforced rule," then I might not like the outcome. But I can't do anything about that. I wrote concisely, informatively and persuasively. If they count a few extra words against me, so be it.
