UN NOCHE EN VERANO

"Un Noche En Verano" (5-13-18 034v2a) was just finished (or as finished as any pic of mine ever is :-D). It was taken just a month or so ago, and had been hanging around in an earlier version, awaiting my full attention. Every time I'd come across it I'd think, yeah, get this one ready for posting. Well, honestly, I'm not even sure now that it's ready. It's one of those that the longer I work on it, the more I find I simply must fuss at and "fix" in some way. I had to restrain myself just now or I'd still be at the poor thing. My perfectionism (just another way to say intense anxiety) has really been out and over active recently. At better times, I think of it as how I try to "develop my craft." But in recent days, it just feels like a habit of self-denigration. Yikes! That was a bit of a wandering from this pic. BTW, I clearly used the "glowing lines" function in Photoshop on this. But I also did a great deal more to it, especially in clarifying and smoothing the lines, and then getting them to be colors that were at least vaguely similar to the natural ones of this canna stand.
