Yes, I'm convinced of that. I have no doubts that I will be able to paint (hopefully paint well, but we'll see).

The last time I painted was 18 years ago. I only painted for a couple of months, but I went from complete inability to apply paint, to creating acceptable paintings in only a few weeks. This time it is much harder. This could be because of my advanced age (I'm 46 now) or, more likely, because I have filled my head with so much unapplied information, from art books, videos, and forums, that it's hard to put it all into my subconscience and just paint. I have so many techniques rattling around my brain, and I want to apply them, but without having tried any of them, my brain goes into meltdown.

I'll keep at it.
