How many left handed people are painters

I\'m an actual ambidextrous person.
Public school training made my right hand dominant (right handed scissors, making me use the pencil in my right hand, etc. etc.) But I\'ve always been able to switch off for just about anything I do.
 
I am fairly ambidextrous, but I paint with my right hand.

When I played baseball I was actually a better hitter left handed than right handed, I think I was just more disciplined left handed. :cool:

I was more ambidextrous as a kid, writing with one hand until it tired, then switching. Trouble was my handwriting would be backwards with the switched hand, so I had teachers and parents force me to \'choose a hand and stick with it\'.
I write, paint, throw, and play guitar lefthanded.
I use right-handed scissors, golf and eat righthanded.
Playing baseball, I can bat left or right.

When I was 9, 14, and 15, I broke my right arm - my left became my dominant arm and hand during that time, and had been unwilling to let my right arm catch up...

I seem to remember when I was young being able to play cricket (for our American cousins, that\'s like baseball with manners ;) ) either left or right handed. It was quite good fun to watch the other team set up their fielders for a right hander then change hands so they were all out of position. Unfortunately, I soon found out that I was equally rubbish with both hands so the novelty wore off, I gave up cricket and took up painting instead.

However, if the closer eye is dominate (the left for right handers), then you don\'t have the obstruction like \"normal\" right handers-----and *supposedly* have better \"golf-coordination\"....:D

Ahh, maybe that\'s why I rarely hook or slice. Never had a big problem getting the ball to go straight, mind you I\'m still a horrible golfer as I\'m way to often hitting the ball to high up and bouncing it off the ground a foot in front. :drunk:

When I paint minis I usually have to cock my head to the right so I\'m looking predominatly through my left eye, at least with detail.

well, I paint right handed, but I think I\'m pretty ambidexterous when it comes to drinking :innocent:

We could do in-depth analysis, see what the average cmon ranking of admited lefties is compaired to righties. You know, for science!

Thats what I was trying to do EricJ, I thought I was on a winner with AlexiZ being a leftie, but you have dashed my plan. Never mind, it was worth a try :D

Now I must think of something else that can make out I\'m a better painter,

Oh cheers Torn Blue Sky, I new you\'d understand lol :moon:
