Carpentry- funding for my art

Today I'll be working on a fireplace surround. My craftsmanship as a carpenter is admired because I bring to the job the same set of skills as I do with art. Art is more than just an idea but the ability to make something with interest and visual quality.

What looks good is a basic human emotion just like sound can be good or bad. Within any culture the aesthetic appeal of art makes humans feel good.

Is there any better reason for doing a good job?
