Don
Texture for me is not about the support/wood, canvas, it is about the 
"paint" itself I mean.
Of course, colour is one thing - yet structure, depth and glazing are 
another. I'm still speaking of the "paint"
If I meant to be sarcastic on such a beautiful day here, I'd ask : oil 
on door frame? then yes; three nice coats of careful daubing, and it's 
done.
But then how do you get the depth and and layered light and colours of 
art oil painting?
Have you ever got near a painting by Turner, Gainsborough, Memling, De 
la Tour, etc? How do you get this light but through multple thicker or 
thinner layered brush strokes.
I'd really be curious to see that. But why not after all. Mind you, I 
also believe in progress and technology, and wasn't oil painting a 
revolution of its own time?

Have a sunny Sunday :-)
