The following was written by Clint Watson the founder of Fine Art Studio online. He has written a news letter about John P. Weiss's book "An Artful Life". This particular paragraph speaks volumes.

Henry David Thoreau quote, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with their songs still in them." You, dear artist, are one of the blessed. You have the opportunity to defy the outcome of most men. You are blessed to know what your "song" is, and you are blessed to have the opportunity to let it out, in vibrant color, into this world, here and now. God has bestowed upon you the incredible gift to create art. And that gift affords you the opportunity to truly Live with a capital L. Because art improves the world, you have the privilege . . . and the responsibility to utilize your God-given gift. That includes both the responsibility to create your art, thus making your life better, as well as the responsibility to share your art with all of us, thus making our lives better. I've often written that sharing your art will change the world, and, even if your art only improves your world, then the undertaking is still worth it. But inevitably, while in the process of changing your own world, you will impact others and make this planet a better place for countless other lives.
