Arnold, I like your comment about being surprised at enjoying your work. A year and some months ago, not knowing what I was doing, I took a can of light blue spray paint to some white poster board and was surprised at how much I liked the clouds and sky that appeared. I still don't know what I'm doing and am often surprised at how well things turn out.
