To see or not to see

I'm sitting here on my 15 minute work break thinking about my frustration with a painting I've been working on. I took a pic of the painting this morning before leaving the house and I've been staring at pic on my iPhone throughout my work day. Suddenly I see areas of my painting that I couldn't see before; brush strokes that created illusions that were not my original intention but nonetheless worked! Hmmm...how about that! Lesson I learned from this: sometimes I have to back away from what I'm trying to see in order to truly see what is right in front of me:)
