While art certainly serves us, do we really need it, or do we simply desire it?

Well I think it is very obvious that no one needs art except maybe for advertising or something or that nature. There is a world of people out there that does not posses any type of art and further more have no desire to own any  

a business like mine depends on people. Talk straight to the people, not up
or 

To answer both Roslyn & Connie... I recently saw a tee shirt with a statement: “earth without art is just ‘eh’!”  I’ve been an artist for many years & have had that thrilling experience of a collector saying to me that my art brings such joy in their life or the painting has a calming affect on them & thereby I feel we need Art. 
Happy creating!  Patrick
