Journaling reads:
The page from a newspaper/magazine
was among my mother’s photos and it is
about my cousin Bruce when he was accepted
as a member of the Australian Mouth and Foot Artists
Association. When Bruce was 17 years old ( 1962) he was
asleep in the back seat of a car when this car was involved
in an accident. This left Bruce a quadriplegic and during his
rehabilitation he was introduced to painting by mouth.
The bottom photo has his son Christopher in the background.
He did get married to a lovely lady who was a nurse.
Sadly Bruce died in 2001 at the age of 56. He contracted
pneumonia.
The Tiger print is one of Bruce’s painting that hangs in
my lounge room.

Oh my gosh! My husband's father was also a mouth painter! I had never heard of it before him. He was in a car accident and left a quadriplegic also. I just made my mother in law a book with all his mouth paintings that he did for Christmas! I'm going to share your layout with her. I hope that's okay!

@bestcee You are most welcome to share my page. My cousin's name was Bruce Peardon and if you do a google search you will see the books he illustrated and the jigsaw the Mouth and Foot Association sell.
