Then try experiments. Gold leaf. Varnish. Glazes. Work in strips or squares, and use a SHARPIE to write note RIGHT on them to describe just what you're doing. Eventually they will resemble matboard scraps, and you have left any misplaced emotional investment far behind.
Great suggestion. Take off the emotional yoke and turn the thing into your sketchbook.

Matter of fact, I've got some color charts to do; I'll probably gesso the backs of some and grid them off for the studies.

Trash day sounds good, too.

Hmmm, very self-effacive of you, Mike.
