Blind Tobit: Paintings Painted Blind was exhibited in 2000 at the The Mission, the New Street Gallery, and then found a home at The Annexe.

Undertaken as a small experimental theme inspired by the Biblical character of Tobit and Lenkiewicz's research on blindness as a metaphor, it was later designated as Project 21. The paintings were done at a specially prepared studio in which the artist was able to paint blindfolded. The paint tins, brushes, canvases, etc., were laid out in precise locations, and the canvases were painted by 'feel' and 40 years of cunning painterly instinct. Robert claimed never to have seen the finished results until they were unveiled before the public for the first time.
