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 artis= ts' please read their `manuals' and `sales literature' as you try to engender w= hatever ARTISTRY you can from the `RTFM approach' to ANY sort of artistic e= ndeavor. https://www.goldenpaints.com/ 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 arti= st' by the photojournalist who took my picture and wrote an accompanying ar= ticle. As the local `audience' could be characterized as philistines with their ta= stes located right where they belong -- firmly in their mouths -- I as a `c= oncept artist' couldn't exploit the medium the subspecies of Pretentious=20 Ass -- EG `Artist' -- we would-be `concept artists' use as THOUGHTS -- mere= metaphysical belly button lint -- are neither person, place, nor thing whi= ch the salt of the earth sensible sensate types REQUIRE to wrap their alleg= ed minds and questionable -- if extant -- aesthetics around. Lisp expressions, in contrast, DO allow metaphysical ideas and aestheticall= y pleasing figure-ground juxtapositions to be artistically expressed by wou= ld-be Concept Artists ... or so it seems. I might be delusional, as all ideas ARE delusions until they can be express= ed via a medium a sensible sensate can see, hear, taste or touch ... cram i= nto 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!
