I can screw up drawing a stick person! My plating might not be the best either... but it's like letting my childhood kid come out in me to join some of these... kinda like being an adult and going and jumping in a mud puddle! Why? Because it's there! On the other hand it's challenging myself to step out of my norm... turned out amazing for a couple dishes... and proved to myself I did that! I'm not even a great cook... my wife is amazing though!I say this as truth, rather than stroking my ego. As a tree trimmer, I was an artist. We had a fair number of clients that would wait until the company could free me up to do their work. I just had this ability to see how each limb I cut was going to change the overall look of the tree while I was up in the middle of it.
My artistic abilities end there. Can't draw a straight line, and can't plate food in an artistic way to save my life.
Go back to your childhood and make it fun! The little choo choo... I think I can, I think I can!
