I
am talking about some extraordinary artist, the artist who makes paintings with
their mouth and foot. Surprised…!! Even I surprised when I received the below
parcel with post cards and greeting cards. Some of you might know about this,
some may be not, but yes it gives me strength towards my willing power. If you
really have willing power, you can do whatever you want without any
distraction. It is only the attitude which describes who you are!
When
I opened the packet and saw such a beautiful cards, my eyes teared up! We
people have every body parts but still we are not satisfied. Look at this
people, they are disabling, but their painting does show an extraordinary artwork.
I received post card and greeting card. Have a look to the great work which is
done by mouth and feet.
