Ahhh ... sage advice if ever there was.

If programming IS an art then I'll reciprocate analogically in kind:
As Golden Artist colors are a near-by manufacturer of paint for `real artists'
please read their `manuals' and `sales literature' as you try to engender whatever ARTISTRY you can from the `RTFM approach' to ANY sort of artistic endeavor.

Please let me know how you make out.
Spare no adjective in your tale of whoa.

I participated in a local art show back in '04 and was called a `local artist' by the photojournalist who took my picture and wrote an accompanying article.

As the local `audience' could be characterized as philistines with their tastes located right where they belong -- firmly in their mouths -- I as a `concept artist' couldn't exploit the medium the subspecies of Pretentious 
Ass -- EG `Artist' -- we would-be `concept artists' use as THOUGHTS -- mere metaphysical belly button lint -- are neither person, place, nor thing which the salt of the earth sensible sensate types REQUIRE to wrap their alleged minds and questionable -- if extant -- aesthetics around.

Lisp expressions, in contrast, DO allow metaphysical ideas and aesthetically pleasing figure-ground juxtapositions to be artistically expressed by would-be Concept Artists ... or so it seems.

I might be delusional, as all ideas ARE delusions until they can be expressed via a medium a sensible sensate can see, hear, taste or touch ... cram into their craw and mental masticate as if food for thought.

Best of luck in learning how to metaphorically `paint' by Reading the Effin' Manual!

Cheers!
