You need a broader concept of "art". I've seen plenty of "art" in your
posts, and I mean that in a good way. You obviously have artistic
ability.
Heck, the post in which you claim not to be able to do art, you've done
art.
Thanks Pete, but Aristotle nailed my arse years ago!

Some fun quotes from IMDB:
L.A. Story (1991) ...Steve Martin
Harris: I call it performance art, but my friend Ariel calls it wasting
time. History will decide.
Trudi: Sheila has been studying the art of conversation.
Harris: Oh, you're taking a course in conversation?
Sheila: Yes.
[Long pause]
Frank Swan: What do you do for a living, Rollie?
Roland: I deal in English paintings.
Frank Swan: Abstract or realistic?
Roland: Depends on which way you look at them, I suppose.
[Admiring a painting]
Harris: I like the relationships. I mean, each character has his own story.
The puppy is a bit too much, but you have to over look things like that in
these kinds of paintings. The way he's *holding* her... it's almost...
filthy. I mean, he's about to kiss her and she's pulling away. The way the
leg's sort of smashed up against her... Phew... Look how he's painted the
blouse sort of translucent. You can just make out her breasts underneath and
it's sort of touching him about here. It's really... pretty torrid, don't
you think? Then of course you have the onlookers peeking at them from behind
the doorway like they're all shocked. They wish. Yeah, I must admit, when I
see a painting like this, I get emotionally... erect.

Harris: When I really analyze it, Trudi wasn't for me anyway. The only good
times we had were having sex and laying in bed watching TV.
Ariel: I hate to tell you this, Harris, but if you can find somebody you
can have sex with and lie in bed and watch TV, you've really got something.
