Random Thoughts or Whatever

Yet with your "well defined mechanical aptitude", you would prob be able to design a new tool, or make a machine more efficient than someone who didn't have your skill-set. So you could be creative more so than others, lacking your background. :bigok:

My artistic side, however, is pretty much non existent, to the extent that I joke that the only thing I can draw is water. I really wanted to create art, I tried and failed miserably at playing several musical instruments (and yet my Son is a "natural" on the guitar), and I long ago came to accept what I'm good, and not so good, at doing ;)

That`s similar to me, I just finally wrote it off to that "Right Brain (creative), Left Brain (logical) domination that one or the other one is born with theory.
 
@DeadRock makes a good point. The arts have really taken a hammering over the past few years. COVID caused a massive shutdown of theatres, galleries and bookstores. I have my M.F.A. and there were many shows and competitions open to display your work. Not any more.

You have to change your outlook and just have fun creating your vision. I had a psychologist tell me once that stifling your creative energy can actually make you physically ill.

Don't let others discourage you. Create art/ music/writing etc. and satisfy yourself. Hopefully the rest will fall into place.

There's all the "value" that matters!
 
To be "creative", I think at times, you have to be able to see in your mind's-eye, an end product that doesn't exist in the present.

This is where imagination comes into play, wherein it becomes the catalyst that propels the idea into being.

Same thing happened with the calibre of announcers on Willie Nelson's 90th Birthday Celebration Show last December, and their lame comments.

Random thought...'wonder who makes the final choice" on "announcers"?
