Hi Allan, thanks for the welcome.

For what it's worth, I was in Denmark (Copenhagen) 25 years ago. It was part of my hitch-hike-across-Europe trip. What was I thinking? Lovely country, however.

Yeah, I think I get it about the practice. I feel like I will never be where I should be or want to be. And it's so intimidating to see the amount and depth of talent out there. I'm 44, I've been making art since I was 3 or 4, entered art school at 16 and been a professional ever since and yet I see people 10 and 20 years younger than myself with skill and insight to burn. It's a midlife eye-opener. I don't see how rocket science could be more difficult than this is.

Cheers.
