Morgan Weistling's work is incredible! What an inspiration! The demos are amazing, thanks for the link Michael. Guess there is hope yet!

Thanks also Chris and Steven for the names you've mentioned (Wish I could find some more of their work). I really like that I can call myself an "inside out painter". Maybe that will be the name of a show - ha ha, I can dream! I am excited to get practicing and I'm sure with more experience everything will fall into place. Thanks so much for all your input and time, I really do appretiate it!
And of course a huge thanks to Cynthia... but, please wait to raise the rates until I am a successful painter!

Don't worry, I'm practicing!
