It is so easy to think about past failures or even things that might have been out of your control, but the race called life is not won that way. The focus always needs to be on positive goals called the finish line. Even the Bible encourages us to forget those things that are behind and press on toward the mark of the high calling. The "Finish Line" is where the race is won.
This is a rather simple layout but shapes still make up the painting. It's all about keeping the main thing...the main thing. Trying to communicate too many things in one piece is akin to a traffic jam in an intersection. Even simple layouts are made more interesting NOT by adding more different elements or "bling" that have nothing to do with the one main thing. It is better to focus on contrasting shapes or texture for interest. Visual overload results when there are too many competing elements.

I *love* this, Dee! I love the jazzy white writing and the background is so cool, and the little flags are darling! XOXO, Donna
