• The highlights in your hair are from your gouache, not the Clairol bottle.
• You know the exact green shade you see in the lichen on the tree.
• You’re late for a meeting because you suddenly knew exactly what detail you needed to add on your latest scroll. And HAD to paint it before you left.
• You chose to buy that new Sable Number 20/0 Round brush instead of a Starbucks’ Venti Nutella Cappuccino.
• Viewing a sunset, you think in terms of cadmium yellow (light hue), tinted azure, and vermillion hue strokes.
• Your cell phone always shows Ultramarine blue gouache fingerprints.
• Sleeping at night, you consider how the shadows of your hanging wrinkled clothes should be painted.
• You sometimes use your coffee to rinse your brushes.
• Your friends drop in unexpectedly and you explain the cluttered house saying, “It’s a work-in-progress”.
• You buy vellum instead of food.
• You view your friend’s face and wonder what it would look like painted as in the Luttrell Psalter.
• And at night when you stop painting, you realize you have just two hours before you have to get up for work.
