Drawing is the foundation to painting though... most times.

I understand! I call that "Blank Canvas Syndrome" but other artists have other terms for the same feeling, I'm sure. I used to get that a lot when I was first starting - the only cure is by doing and not being so precious with your materials. If you invest in a digital tablet, you will find you learn faster because all the canvas and paint is free, there is the undo option (which makes you more daring and bold) and you are less likely to feel personally miserable if something doesn't turn out the way you wish it would!
Time, practice, and patience. The time to get there is the most daunting hurdle - it took me 10 years to learn how to draw figures easily (and it's not easy, by any stretch, I just feel more comfortable doing it now) and about 5 years to feel comfortable doing landscapes. Still lifes are the easiest to draw from life, and also were my foundation - I did years and years of traditional (mostly graphite and charcoal drawings) still life and self portraiture before I hit high school.
I believe that anyone, and I mean anyone, can draw. If you want it, it is yours. It just takes a lot of effort, so you really really have to want it.

Lovely! I particularly love the way you did the boots. The sole/heel of the one on the bottom keeps catching my eye!
