"enjoyably dissatisfied"

David Brooks in his book, The Social Animal, wonderfully captures my feelings about painting in these words:
"she found herself enjoyably dissatisfied by her work. She got a glimpse of some ideal thing she would want to create, and then she would tinker and tinker with it, never quite eliminating the tension between the reality and the perfection she felt inside. But still she chased it."
