I'm having art troubles...

I've already known this for a long time, but recently I realize it more and more, that the artists I like don't always try as hard as I imagine.
There are a lot of "mistakes" in their pieces, and when I look closely, I know I could do better, but...
How come when all the "mistakes" come together, they all fix each other and resolve the image? I can't figure it out.
It's been annoying me for such a long time. I always try to fix what I think are mistakes in my pictures, but maybe I should start trying to live with them?
But then, at what point do I make the decision to start fixing them? And at what point do I leave it alone and stop?

- And AB would come with chocolate that I made (not as a merchandise, but as a gift from a friend).
- Ships to US only though. ; v; Cause international food laws too strict and scary.
- Strawberry truffle in white and milk chocolate variations + strawberry bark
- Mint truffle in white and milk chocolate variations + peppermint bark
- Toffee crunch truffle in white and milk chocolate variations + toffee bark
- I've always wanted to combine food with art. * v*
It's been months since I last asked so I don't feel bad...

I've thought about this poll all weekend, and I still can't come with a decent opinion? answer? but I think I'll still give it a go, even though you might have some answers now.
For me, if it's "just" a piece that I do to unwind myself, or to unstress myself, or because I've had a bad day, I don't pay as much attention to the "mistakes", because it's the process that I'm putting the most weight on, nor the end result. though if the end result is really, really bad, I end up scrapping it and not uploading it here.
Now, when that's not the case, I try to fix as many mistakes as I can lay my eyes on. I try my piece to be as perfect as possible. So, when I upload it, it doesn't have any big mistakes...and the minor ones I let them be because I'm by nature a nick-picky and a perfectionist and kinda insecure, and everything I do has a mistake, and if I don't let them be I might never finish my piece.
What may happen then is that next day, or a couple of days later, seeing that piece, I do find some major mistake, but since I already uploaded it, I let it be and try to learn from it for my future works.
Now, as to make the mistakes work together, I don't know how that happens. Maybe it's a happy coincidence? Or our sense of aestethics guides us to make a work flow, regardless of all the mistakes there are in it? Then again, maybe the defintion of what perfect is, is linked with our definition of beauty, and every definition is different for each person, even if the foundations of it are the same?
and tis' the end of my rambling. I don't have any more answers than you do, but it's an interesting question nonetheless. I do hope you've got some answers and ideas to it, though.
