"Artists without hands at work"
These postcards are created by individuals who can’t paint with their hands, because they don’t have the opportunity to do so because of life changing experiences. All these paintings have been painted by Artists using either their mouth or their feet and they have formed The Mouth and Foot Painting Artists Association. This Association is dedicated to Artists who have been deprived of the use of their hands by illness, injury or birth defect and who have learned to draw and paint with the brush in the mouth or with the toes. The Association gives all members the opportunity to earn their living as Artists through sales of their paintings, reproduced through cards, calendars and many other items.
It goes to show that there are so many wonderful ways of expressing oneself with and without limitations, and that the being in expression is much more powerful when creating what one feels. For that I share my own experience of being in creation through the art of a moment, and find that there is delicacy in every experience and that it can touch one in many ways unimaginable, like it does so these Artists.

Dear Shayla,
Yes, it was very unexpected and beautiful.
I think in the end we are all people behind our limitations and we have to express ourselfs in one way or another, and it is how we engage in those experiences that count.
Thanks for stopping by.
The cards you received are beautiful and amazing! (And your rose describes the feeling perfectly.)
Thank you so much Anne.
Good to see you here.

I also love the cards you received. It proves, doesn’t it, that an artist is an artist is an artist, no matter what.

Past the Artist, there is one very outshining being.

To think we sometimes complain about a little discomfort.
