She conveniently forgets how long it's been since the last time she ever picked up a paintbrush as well as all the fame she gained when she did. It feels as though she's only lashing out at Homer because she doesn't like being reminded how little she's created recently.

* TheResenter: Marge is nothing but bitter and unsupportive of Homer when he tries to be an outsider artist because she's unhappy that [[HardWorkHardlyWorks Homer made more progress in a week then she ever has been until he fails]]. As mentioned in NeverMyFault, Marge is acting like she's been painting for years and never received any acknowledgement for it, despite A: she stopped painting in high school because of her dismissive teacher, B: when she resumed painting she won a local art contest, was commissioned to paint Mr. Burns' portrait ''and'' was told by Ringo Starr he loved the painting she sent him, and C: she hasn't painted since all of that happened. All this makes her resentment come across as totally unjustified and completely undermines the HardWorkHardlyWorks trope she's attempting to invoke.
