Due to a dangerous drug used to combat morning sickness in the 50s and 60s, Peter Longstaff was born without arms.  What others saw as an obstacle was nothing other than a trait that made Peter special.  He learned to use his feet like hands and did what everyone else could do.  Farming?  He’s done it.  Coaching sports?  He’s done it.  Painting?  That’s why we’re here.  The imagery he portrays is simple yet breathtaking.  I believe Peter’s life story has given him a higher level of respect and appreciation for art.  It shows in the craftsmanship of his paintings (dailymail.co.uk).

🌟 I wish I could give you more information and tell you how to support Mr. Longstaff, but I can’t.  There is very little information floating around the internet, and I can’t find anymore of his work except for teeny tiny images that are bad quality.  Here is all I could dig up:
