Two notes to self. I already know these things. But apparently I have to keep learning them over and over:

1. That painting that you just want to be finished already? The one you can’t stand to look at any more? Leave it for a few days. When you come back to it, you’ll have more energy and will be able to see all kinds of stuff you couldn’t see before. Then you can finish it. And actually like looking at it.

2. When you are too lazy to put your painting shirt on over your clothes, you will end up with pink paint all over your favorite sweater.
