I wanted to differentiate from wall painting (which I also do righty). I did not oil paint much as I did it for an art class but everyone felt it was really odd that I drew lefty and painted righty. I think it has to do with the fact that my left hand fingers are stronger, my wrists are about equal and my right arm and shoulder are stronger.

This makes me think that even if born ambidextrous you really need to work on it to keep everything in balance. I tried with Juggling, Martial Arts, Stick fighting and weightlifting. Even with training, imbalances are still bound to happen so I expect people who are truly "equal" in both hands would be VERY rare.

Oh and I did once have a temp job for a weekend arranging flowers. I learned how to reflex roses (to make the petals look larger). It does make it look nicer so I still do that when I give flowers as gifts.
