I must say Andrew Loomis books are great and they helped me alot (though I have a loong way ahead of me). First of all they set proper mindset and teach to ask right questions. What's more, they're great reference and it's nice to redraw stuff from them. The other book that really struck me and gave a great insight into how to see the world in order to paint it properly is Light and Color by James Gourney. Watching Proko (http://www.youtube.com/user/ProkoTV) on Youtube is also helpfull and the videos are free.
It's a somewhat solitary existence, a bit like a lighthouse keeper throwing a beam out into the darkness, in faith that this action might help someone unseen.
