I started this little painting on Tuesday, and as I went through the house yesterday morning it struck me how tiny it looked on my easel.

I was having the hardest time getting the mug to look right, it was frustrating me so much.  Then I remembered something I'd read online a week or so ago from another artist.  This person said that sometimes when they're working on a painting, if they turn it and the reference photo upside down, that somehow it makes them see the shapes in the image, rather than what they *think* they are seeing.  
It was amazing how the mug improved once I did that.  Much better.  :)
