@dyslexia,
The labor is a integral part of the inspiration -- to pick up the brush, the chisel or the pencil and created a work everyone would be able to view or hear. It's the ultimate sensuality. Abstract art brought it into it's basic elements in the consciousness and sub-consciousness of the intelligent human brain. Art has never come out of nothingness. The Bible is a work of fantasy fiction based on a scarce patchwork accounting of history and/or myth, but little or no science. Science has proven all but conclusively that much of the mythological phenomena accounted for in the Bible is just natural history. The stenographers interpreted it all as metaphysical.
Of course, past the pencil part, the labor of the construction a piece of architecture is the most formidable including the foreman who is following the architects' plans. In music, it's the musicians, and the conductor if required, who complete the labor. It's the art marketing which hopefully allows the painter or sculptor to make a living from the work. It's the museum staff that runs the building where the art is given a noble venue for exhibitions. It's the height of a labor of love which seems to me transcends anything in the Bible.
