Thanks Don, but you are way too kind, and far too humble. But the simple fact is we are not all cut out to be "artists", no more than we are all capable of being rocket scientists, athletes, doctors or accountants or plumbers. I attempt to teach concepts that can be employed by anyone, and will elevate their turning level. So, rather than encourage people to simply copy what I do, I help them understand why some things work, and why some don't. Understanding a concept is important; I can teach someone to recite the alphabet all day long, but that doesn't mean they can read. I also show people how their life experiences can be expressed through their work...a major step forward.
