> can you paint better and more imaginatively than that?

the fact that you are seriously asking this question says a lot about your taste.

Non sequitur. My sense taste or lack of it, is irrelevant.

Questions about "taste" don't matter when the average person doesn't have the craft to produce what they claim they are competent to judge especially when we're talking about such low hanging fruit as: "write a short story", "write an essay", "analyse this math problem", "draw an anatomically accurate portrait or nude figure", "paint this still life", "sketch this landscape".

Are you able to make the distinction between taste and craftsmanship?

Then after you are done signalling whatever it is you think you're signalling by vaguely gesturing at your undoubtedly superior sense of taste, perhaps we can talk like adults about what I asked?
