The mess of beauty.

If I've learned anything being a painter, it's that I walk a way from a finished canvas covered in paint from my hair down to my feet. It's ridiculous enough to the point of comical.

But should I, as a paint-covered artist, regret my finished artwork because I now need a shower?

The key point is that I'll keep picking up new canvases and continuing painting. 

Each new canvas bringing the risk of still getting messy.

Each new time with a little more expertise.

Each time making the final project that much more beautiful.
