David Barth, born in Rotterdam/The Netherlands in 1998, is diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, a form of autism. His special perception, skill and patience find expression in his paintings and comics which show an amazing sense of detail. One of his drawings, “Birds”, features 397 different species; when you follow the link to David’s portfolio, “Birds” is the third thumbnail from the left.
Since his first exhibition in 2005 David has won several awards. In 2009, “Birds” was David’s contribution to “Drawing Autism”. For more information on this book please visit the publisher: Mark Batty Publisher.

Thanks for sharing Eliz quote and the book.
I thought the quote was perfect for this post – living up to what we’ve got and can do. I hope Eliz doesn’t mind.
Great post – sometimes we become so obsessed with where we think we should be we forget to be where we are now – and most of all we forget to enjoy it! Thanks.
“…sometimes we become so obsessed with where we think we should be we forget to be where we are now – and most of all we forget to enjoy it!” – I just found a new quote for my collection, thank you!
And thank you for reciprocating my visit 😉
Honoured to have become ‘a quote’! As for the reciprocating – a pleasure!
This is beautiful… thank you for sharing them with us. When we feel our world is caving in around us, and we think there is no way out, we should think of those who live life precariously; life on the edge.Thanks again! Maria
