I'm glad you're enjoying this thread. I was afraid I was a bit long winded with that last answer. I will try to be more succinct!!
You had asked in an email about more images from the Academy, I can do that, just give me a bit more time.
You mentioned Loomis, I'm glad to hear you are a fan of his. You are really onto something there. I thought the world of him and have all his books. I hope you have his early ones on drawing. I especially liked the fact that he emphasized UNDERSTANDING what it is we are trying to draw or paint. Today there is so much emphasis on copying, whether it is coping from the live model or not, understanding WHY things appear as they do is very helpful to reinforce what we see and help us to see it more clearly and to draw and paint with more authority. I also believe that it makes drawing and painting much more fun and natural.
