| Equal opportunities, isn't? photo by Tomas Karkalas |
My living with
disabilities was hard to accept but taught me the gratitude. The status of an
invalid made me out of work for life but forced me to admit the dependence on
the grace of others. Thus my sickness trained me to respect the next to me as
myself and made these thoughts the loud. My visual meditations became my artworks and expressed the way of
being.
I sold nothing but
received lots of your nice comments on the blogs I have started. That enabled
me to respect myself in spite of the reality I was facing. Though my artworks
didn't get any profit to me but they taught to look at my life with the
grateful thanks for being alive, and that attitude was my greatest achievement.

I think you have an amazing attitude and are inspirational as to how you view things in such a beautiful way despite the hardships you have faced in your life.
Such interesting art. I am so glad you came by my site so I could find my way here.
Most of the stuff on my blog is pure silliness, but what you do is creative and interesting.
And, yet, we walk away with so much more than the price of admission would indicate. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.
Thank you for sharing your art that is beautiful!
Money cannot buy your art nor your desire to express yourself, Tomas. You are wealthy in creativity and I thank you for your presence on the Internet, my friend.
Thank you all for so precious comments. I'm glad you have enjoyed my light.
Dear Richard, you are right while saying that money cannot by the art, yet money can buy the art supplies and they are the foundation of any art. Meanwhile the paper and a pen (canvases and the paints) are the luxury goods to me - something desirable yet above my potency to pay. Reality puts me into the shoes of the beggar Unfortunately... such was my message.
Keep doing what you do, Tomas. Your art brings comfort not only to you, but to many others like me who have never had the pleasure of meeting you. God bless.
As always, beautiful! I love the contrast in the picture with the boys shirt and hat standing out to highlight him and the apple is marvelous.
Nice to see you back on TST

Hello, Tomas -
I "Equal Opportunity" ... it's touching yet I find it haunting, too, though I don't know why. I wish you could find an agent to represent your work ... it really deserves to be known.

Tomas -
I love "Equal Opportunity" ... it's touching but for some reason, haunting, too, like a sad story yet to be told. Glad you're back on TST.
