Do you have to see to paint?





Schedule
Things I loved about this painters story:

Despite his disabilities, he didn't give up.

As an adult who could no longer see, he recalled the beauty around him as a child.

He found a way to express what he remembered.

He uses a stronger sense to guide him...touch.

He ALLOWS his hands to compose.

He doesn't have to see what he paints.

He smiles while he paints.

He doesn't fret over the results of his work.

"You're not looking at it like, is it good or bad or how is it going to turn out. You look at it more from an imaginary point"

"Even if it's hard to do something, you can always do it!"

"Live your dreams and try to do the most you can in life."

"Be good to people!"
 
He just puts onto paper that which brings him the most joy. 

He paints to please himself.

He is humble.

His results 

are

colorful,

joyful,

sharing,

acceptance,

peace,

and 

beautiful.

    1. Thank you! I was completely inspired by his attitude and grace for his circumstances... which are only "circumstances" if you allow them space to be! <3
