1) You love the smell of stand oil, paint, and turpentine.
2) Sometimes you spank the painting, and sometimes it spanks you.
3) You dream about working on a beautiful painting, in great detail. You wake up when the painting is done.
4)You had a beautiful, finished painting, but ruined it by not stopping when you should have.
5) You've seriously considered hurling a difficult painting into the highest branches of the nearest tree.
6) You've walked past the studio, stopped to fix a small detail, and got sucked into 10 hours of painting.
7) You show up at an opening in your nicest pair of blue jeans. They have oil paint on them.
8) You forget to eat lunch.
9) Your significant other has oil paint on his/her clothes, and asks you how it got there.
10) Your cell phone is covered in oil paint.
11) You've failed by whatever commercial or other similar standard, but you continue to paint anyway.
12) You've painted, finished, and signed, the same canvas 7 times.
