Unfinished Thoughts
Early in the morning I woke up to the terrible feeling
It is not enough. I am not enough. I don’t know what to do. I can’t do anything right. I suck.
Sounds familiar?
“Artist’s life is a lonely road”, said my colleague many many years ago to me and I still remember it. When I get these uncomfortable feelings I know I have to get this kind of thoughts out of my system. But how?
I have two things I do. (ok, a good night sleep helps everything!)
I say to myself: ” Kreetta, calm down, everything will be ok. Just do you. Work and learn if you are not happy with your project.”
Second thing is I write a list what I have to do to clear my head. That I am going to do now. But this time on computer, not in a notebook that I can find my list while working.
What are your tips to find again your artist bliss?

Here in my journal I share things and raw thoughts that are intriguing my mind at the moment as an artist.
They can vary a lot and I don’t have a script or plan for the next post. These are thoughts about materials, ingredients, process, light, zeitgeist, ideas - what ever comes to my mind as an artist. This is about the process and you get to hear things “behind the scenes”.
I photograph flowers, plants and mushrooms at my workspace in natural light. I design all the floral works and when the work is ready I push the button. Welcome to my world of immortal flowers. No AI.
Thank you for reading.
PS. You can still go and see my exhibition J U S T F L O W E R S in Finnfoto gallery, Goodman, Hämeenlinna. It is open until 30.1.25. All the 36 artworks will be sold in February in my online shop with special prices. They have been in 4 Finnfoto galleries since June 2024. Newsletter orderers will be the first ones to make reservations. So now it is a good time to sign up to my newsletter.
