Title: David's painting is not about still life.
When David finishes one of his paintings -- he knows most people will see it in a different way to him. He's blind in one eye and only has partial sight in the other. But he believes passionately that painting is great therapy, because artists can always paint what they see in their minds, even if they can't see objects clearly in real life.
