sun spots through the screen on blue
I'm painting our bedroom
This morning the sun was coming through the window and screen and making funky dappled screen-patterned spots on the can of paint. It was very difficult to get a good picture of, but this one gives you the impression, without the amazingly-cool factor.

you might be trying to guess what color the bedroom will be, based on this picture. Good luck. You really can't tell. I mean, it's blue, sure, but not really a good picture of the shade of blue.
Turns out I'm pretty much a L00zR at painting neat tidy edges. Tape is tedious and usually disappointing, where it leaked under here or pulls something off there. But boy did I not do a stellar job with the "good brush, pay attention, be careful" approach. I'm guessing it's the "pay attention" part I failed.
