Art the the result of the total essence of the person, heart, soul, spirit, hands, eyes, ears, feet, etc. It is all the senses that come out of us, either by using our hands, our voices, merged with our spirit. IMHO.
Mohammed so true your words art is not in your hands but heart, think of all the individuals without limbs and they paint with the brush between their toes, between their teeth, now that is conviction, determination and inspiration for all.

"I agree with Mohammed. However, without the hand it will not be put on the paper.
I think it takes both but yes, comes from the heart."
Tell that to the foot and mouth artists who don't have use of hands
but still manage to produce some art better than many artists with use of hands.
I know you were speaking in generalities, Abbie, and I'm not picking on you, but I just wanted to bring up this group of, sometimes,overlooked people in our community of artists.
Guess it just shows...you don't need hands to put heart in your art.
Edit: FYI the web site for foot and mouth painters is www.mfpausa.com.
