This combination of colors is what gives this painting its life . At first it was simply a saucer on an easel but when I finished with it , it was just dull . I did not want another piece of the same pattern on that 6 x 6 area , so I had to find a contrasting shape and color . I had already covered the available space with the saucer , and I did n't want to throw all that work out - it was a lesson I already had learned - probably as far back as art school - do n't begin painting until you have the composition worked out .

Question: What may happen next in the speaker 's story ?
Answer: They bought new paint colors .They were finally able to add things to the painting to their satisfaction .They asked others advice on the painting .None of the above choices .
