Eggs

I like the movie "Finding Forrester".    Forrester (Sean Connery) agreed to teach Jamal (Rob Brown) about writing.  Jamal sat down at the typewriter to write, but just sat.  Forrester asked him what he was doing, and Jamal answered, "I'm just thinking".  Forrester:  "No thinking - that comes later.  You must write your first draft with your heart.  You rewrite with your head.  The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!"
"Sometimes the simple rhythm of typing gets us from page one to page two."

My interpretation, translating it to painting, is that Sean Connery would tell me to paint with my heart.  Then refine (without suffocating what's painted).  The first key to painting is... to paint, not to think.
The simple rhythm of painting gets us from painting one to painting two.

Pepper Shaker

It has a "P" on the lid. 
I've been looking for glass salt and pepper shakers for painting, and when I saw this one in the store, it was pretty much what I had in mind.  But it was the only one.  I put salt in it because I need a salt shaker more often than a pepper shaker.
The dangerous thing is that I Googled pepper shaker (only because I live in Germany, where small words are combined into gargantuan words, and I couldn't remember if this was one word or two), and found a beautiful set of pewter and glass shakers from Italy.  Oh oh.
