 no-redo and  no-eraser are basic rule  here('kettles' and 'awake 'included).

but i have some feelings for this picasso's dove and child  one and allowed myself an exception.

copying a painting feels like looking into the story behind it, as in trying translating.  

it may take me decades to notice the obvious, being non-well-educated. still, finding it through what i do here is fine- even better.
