I was reminded of the old PBS painting shows on TV that I used to watch. The artist would make "happy little trees" and flit about the canvas. His little dabs and whips of the paintbrush would transform into a wooded glade, a rushing river, mountains with the sun dancing off the edges ... Of course, when I tried to do the same thing, it turned out like brown blobs. When your hand automatically knows how to turn, and the brushes are so familiar you know which one you have just by the feel of it, then you can paint with the freedom seen on the TV shows. Until then, you'll just make brown blobs. It's the same with programming and programming languages, really. All the books you read and courses you take in college are just there to help you get familiar with the brushes and the canvas. They'll help keep you from making brown blobs, but you'll never make a masterpiece by the book. Robert
