I don't see rec.boats as a place where I would want to discuss or show
my expertise with Trompe-l'œil oil painting.

Oh brother.... learned a new word on the internets I see... lol.

Paint by number?

It is just a pretentious way of saying you have a degree of
perspective in your picture. It is usually taught in the introduction
to art class.
In it's most simple sense, you create a vanishing point somewhere near
the center of the picture with lines to the edges of the frame and use
that to scale object sizes as you move forward toward the viewer.
Once you get the concept, you know objects far away are smaller than
objects up close and you adjust shapes to reflect it still using those
imaginary lines.
The more off center your vanishing point is, the more oblique the view
is that you are representing.

My father was an artist in his spare time, mostly working in charcoal.
I learned these concepts in grade school. I just never really found
the love for the process.

Well, of course you didn't, because appreciation of art or the creation
of it, why, they are liberal arts pursuits.

Again you totally misunderstand what I said. I just had no interest in
drawing or painting. I still appreciate the work of people who do.
The mechanics interested me, I just was not that interested in doing
it myself. Perhaps my dyslexia may have had something to do with it.

Oh ****. Something else for Harry to add to his data base. In twenty
years he'll be calling you names with 'dyslexia' therein.

I did hesitate to bring it up bercase Harry has no limits to what he
would ridicule.

That's because Harry doesn't believe in dog.

It's ok, if you hold back he will just make it up anyway
