What can art do?

We're on day 7 of the Inktober concept -- ink drawings for the
month of October. It's been a busy day and I haven't finished
a new drawing to show you, so I'll show you an older one that 
makes me happy -- from this summer.

The subject is a wonderful man heavily involved in the arts.
And that is all for tonight.

My question?  What can art do?  Art can reflect the incredible
beauty of the world, comfort us, calm us, and make us
understand the reason to keep creating, keep being loving,
keep trying to help the planet.  Quite a big role actually.

Try listening to some classical symphony music today. 
Uplifting is too mild a word for it.

Have a loving your life day.
