Josef:
I have not tried value massing on a piece from life yet as there is just barely enough time for me to try to get the features in the right places. The big factor for me is time - if I have enough time I can noodle anything out. This was done in two hours. I will start adding it to the things I am thinking about while I work however. Thanks.
I struggle on...

Yes, I was fortunate enough to get into Bill's class in Scottsdale. I am looking forward to it greatly.
