It's a good piece of art, but rather goes against the grain in these days of too few trees.

Maybe 'You too can plant a forest'?

I like the way it feels a bit like a Tarot card. (I don't regard Tarot has having any reality in the fortune-telling sense, but I like the way artists use Tarot imagery -it's basically a collection of concepts that I sometimes find useful to try and sort out my own mind - essentially, random concepts can generate useful combinations of ideas)

You have a good point, but I can't really change the description to not match the image. She's holding an axe. She obviously cut down the trees. The only thing I can really do is destroy the piece. (sigh) I may have to, it is basically ruined for me now. (sigh)

Oh no! Don't do that. It really is a good piece of art - and for anyone who doesn't think the way I do, it will carry the meaning you intended.

[kerravonsen]

Too late, it is done. Because I cannot un-see what you pointed out. Therefore I am unhappy with the piece, and I do not keep pieces I am unhappy with. Because they make me unhappy. I will toss it back into the pool of unfinished works, and it will end up being something completely different.

I understand. And it makes sense.
