  This story was such an inspiration to me. I had to share it with you.
  Here is the link to the artist's website.  No more complaining about our disabilities...eh?
  From his website it says...“He needs absolute quite when working. First, using a Braille stylus,
  he etches an outline of his drawing. He needs to feel that he is
  “inside” his painting– in fact, when he is drawing a picture of the
  sea, he often wonders if he should wear a life jacket so as not drown!
  When he is satisfied with his drawing, he starts to apply the oils with
  his fingers. Because he applies only one color at a time (the colors
  would smear otherwise), he must wait two or three days for the color to
  dry before applying the next color. This method of painting is entirely
  unique to Mr. Armagan. He receives no assistance or training from any
  individual. He also learned to draw perspective.”
