put it in a different room, look at it in a different light, wonder if the yellow is just right, if it's too muddy, if the white pleases me, is it too central in composition, do I like the texture, how would it look in the kitchen, do I like it in the kitchen, is it too yellow for the kitchen, what do I like about this, what does it make me feel, what does it make me think, where does my eye stick, do I like that it's not symmetrical, do I like the imperfections, it feels organic somehow yet graphic,

Yep, this is how my mind cycles with most things. I am still pacing around it, though I will have to settle with telling myself to simply shut up and hang it.

Sharing this actually took a lot of convincing.
