“Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.”

Yes, another “P” painting. I had a great time doing this painting! I manipulated the photo a bit in Photoshop to bring out the shadows and exaggerated them somewhat. So fun! The photo was contributed to the WetCanvas RIL by

About Helen Keller
American author and activist Helen Keller was born in Alabama in 1880; she became blind and deaf after a childhood fever. When Helen was seven, her teacher, Annie Sullivan, coaxed her out of her sullen, angry shell and taught her to communicate. From then on, Keller took on the world. She graduated from Radcliffe, traveled the world visiting sweatshops and speaking out for the powerless, helped to found the ACLU, and wrote 11 books. She died in 1968.
