No, the expression "green thumb" does not apply to art. It applies to the ability to grow plants or flowers effectively.
the saying "green thumb" means someone who, not literally, has a green thumb because they like gardening. When growing tobacco, farmers remove the flowers from the crops in order to increase the size and weight of the leafs. This process, known as "topping," is standard practice even today. In early colonial America, when tobacco was the major cash crop, farmers would hand-pick the flowers using their thumbnails to cut the stem. After a while, the farmer's thumb would be stained green. Hence the term, Green Thumb.
Gardeners who worked with earthenware pots found their thumbs stained green from algae growing on the outside of these pots, according to one theory. Another theory claims that King Edward the First loved green peas, and had serfs shell them. Whichever serf had the greenest thumb won some sort of prize.
That is the correct spelling of "thumb."

No. It isn't even real. Just an expression for someone who grows plants well.

If a person's thumb literally turns green, it would be a symptom of decay. Green is not a good color for the human body.
