Painting on canvas...

...can sometimes be like life.
You can mold the canvas, you can create whatever you choose.
But if your painting skills suck, then there's really not much you can do anyway.

You can keep trying to paint what you see in your head,
but it's never going to look the way you imagined it.
You will get more and more frustrated until the painting just doesnt seem like a worthy investment of time anymore, like the original concept has been completely lost to you.

So, do you start over on a fresh canvas?
Or store the painting until it becomes something you'd like to work on again?

...That's random as fuck and I cant believe how relate-able it sounds.
