Artists are not alone

Realizing there are other like minded artists who appreciate and strive for the Truth and Beauty found in classical realistic figurative works, and other artistic fields that reflect the values spoken of in Philippians 4:8

Whatever is

True, Noble, Lovely, Honorable, Pure, Praiseworthy, Just, Excellent and Virtuous -

Let your mind dwell on these things.
