And what if he can't? Does that make his abstract paintings less valuable?
Do you really care whether, say, Jackson Pollock, could draw a perfect portrait?
He was a master with his dripping he doesn't have to be a master with a
still-life. That's beside the point. Art is not craft.
Do what you want to do, be it abstract or realistic, but do it as good as you
can and because you want to, not because others say you should.

Have fun,
