It is probably easier to be a bird than a man. A bird has a limited skill-set predicated by instinct only, or so we are taught. A man's skill-set is potentially limitless, yet he willfully wears intellectual mule-blinds for the sake of blending in until, eventually, he mistakes this self-imposed limitation for reality. I think it's easier to be a bird than a man. ;) I used watercolor, w/c pencil, some felt-tip and gel pen. Image area 6 by 6 inches. Original Jones Art bird watching in northwest Austin, Texas.

I feel empty headed and like a idiot getting involve with a woman

Artist Reply: I have experienced that same feeling on occasion, Ray. I was in my early 20's, the first time and in my early 50's the second time. Two very different women but the pain was very similar. But there were some nice ones in between, I'm glad to say. :)

Powerfully Great Work, Charles!!!!!!!!!!!

Artist Reply: I swear the 'bird' on the left has the eyes of Barney from The Flintstones. Ha. I guess you could say I drew inspiration from that sweet though 'empty-headed' character. It was unintentional yet effective. :) Hope you are doing great things to the north, Chris!
