Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pax" data-source="post: 1068354" data-attributes="member: 6875">A painting needn't be technically accurate, to be an effective "performance".  Look at anything by Picasso, or Salvadore Dali.Heck, a lot of Monet's works are blurry "messes" IMO, even though he could put in LOTS of PRECISE detail (in the Boston Musem of Fine Arts are several of his pieces -- someo fhte Water Lilies paintings, which are definitely "blurry messes" but still aesthetically pleasing ... and one of a woman in a red dress, with a dwarf ... which could be a design on the dress, or could be actually standing in front of the woman ... either one works.  A wonderful visual illusion, which takes obvious, great skill.But it's no better a "performance" than someof his Water Lilies "blurry mess" paintings, which do NOT evince any especial skill in applying paint to canvas.A different cook has prpared the meat stuffing.  The baker is responsible for the shell, he just ladels the meats in before baking.Actually, in true medieval style, it's taking meat, spices, and other things, and cooking them in such a way as to kill the lingering taste of rot.  And I'm not talking about a simple steak here, I'm talking the sorts of things that would grace a noble lord's table.Not at all.  There are lots of different sizes, qualities, purposes, and soon when it comes to bricks.  Making them, and putting them together into a wall, are two different skills entirely.A mason also probably knows how to handle concrete pouring.  He can lay bricks, assemble stone walls, and so on.  He can build walls with mortar, or the components cna be dry laid.  He can build around needed window- and door-openings, construct certain types of doors (largely the hidden kind), assemble bridges, aqueducts, castle walls, tall towers, and so on.But making bricks ... he might just think that beneath him.THAT, the mason probably makes.</blockquote>
