training subconsciously comes in handy.....

I realized today that when I put my mind to it, I understand light and shadow extre.ely well. I guess all that art education actually did pay off.....I can draw anything I want and so, paint anything I want. Never underestimate the value of learning, and challenging yourself, and practice. I suppose all those years of studying the human form, then all those years of learning to execute it, let my imagination go crazy without being hampered by the 'i don't know how' phrase of doom...!
