It's hard to constrain myself from replying to ALL the interesting threads I'm reading here. . I am all over the forum enough already that I'm sure people are getting sick of seeing my avatar.
But I have to put my thumbs up comment here on Sally's car pic. Really nice work.
And yes, doing is always better than wishing. But no, I don't think anyone should try to emulate me, because I'm emulating everybody else myself. It's a good learning process, though. But it would come to a point when you start feeling something's lacking. A personal style. That's something I'm trying to find for myself, still.
