How frustrating! We get better, but our self-esteem goes down.
After a visit from a friend who has an over-exaggerated ego about her looks, my husband asked "wouldn't you rather I tell you the truth if those pants make your rear look big?" My answer was "No! I'd rather be unrealistically confident and happy with myself!" In the case of painting though, it's different. After all, I can improve my painting, my rear is mom's fault.
