I think artists look more carefully at the world around them. They see the beauty in landscapes, people, and experiences more clearly. Or with more reverence and appreciation for them. Leo Platero is awesome like that. He chose to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Just like an artist purposely chooses colors to get a desired result, Leo has made decisions that have made his life beautiful and helped his family to make their lives beautiful. I even feel like the way Leo shared stories and testimony that he was choosing carefully how to paint the picture we are now privileged to listen to.
