Paul Smith, who lives in an Oregon nursing home, creates amazing works of art using a typewriter, in spite of the cerebral palsy that makes precise movements extremely challenging. One keystroke at a time, he recreates scenes from his childhood, famous paintings, and beautiful landscapes, proving where there’s a will—and passion—there’s a way.

Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
Thank you for posting this video. What an inspirational artist he is. I love his art and I
love his smile more!
You’re most welcome! I was too inspired not to share it. =)
all great artists no matter what the medium are incredibly innocent and yet incredibly creative. They have some deep connection with nature and the unseen which gives them tremendous power and courage to express with deep feeling in their artistic creations. His humble grace and charming smile endears everyone. He accepts his hardship with no ill-will towards anyone and yet so alert and peaceful. His incredible focus and tiresome effort is an example for anybody to emulate. People who face difficulties and rise above them are true legends. Those who have it too easy can never become emulate the greatness that personalities like this man have. And I also welcome and appreciate the support his family and other have provided to him.
