Like a lot of words, dreamer has been used and abused by the current drop of bipeds. And I am not necessarily referring to the Stephen Foster song, even though it's a good one. I still think it is one who lives in a world of fancy and imagination. I don't think you have to be a Walter Mitty type though, just someone who has a dream and manages to keep it alive over the course of his life. That is not an easy thing to do, as some of you may know and understand. This is an 8 by 6 inches gel pen with color pencil drawing on medium bond acid-free paper. Original Jones Art still keeps a tiny remnant of his dream alive here in northwest Austin, Texas.

Charles, I normally avoid reading comments before I type down mine. It's March 8th, which is celebrated in Russia not only as International Women's Day but also as the first spring holiday. I bet there's spring in your veins now but do not want to admit:))) Hope I'm right

Artist Reply: Well, yo.u could be right, Nikolay. Our clocks spring forward an hour Sunday. And the birds are starting up their 'old sweet song.' But my veins? They could do with a higher octane, I think. :)

Springtime is here! Well done, Charles!

Artist Reply: First of all, Nikolay, don'e take any leads from Joanie down below. She happens to be on a 'spring' kick presently. BUT, yes, he's much more colorful than my little gel pen sketches made in February. Hope you and yours are doing fine. :)

He’s a cool cat that had a dream he was awake all night … and when he woke up, he was asleep : ) superb rendering as always , Charles Dave from Chicago

Artist Reply: Well, Anonymous Dave,, glad to hear from you. I had an idea for a story about a guy who slipped into his dreams so they became his reality. He kept doing this through all his new realities until he awoke back in the reality he started from. What do you think? :)

HE'S DRESSED FOR SPRING. !!

Artist Reply: It's always spring in the land of fancy and imagination, Joanie. It's never too hot or too cold and the unseen birds are always singing. Hope all is good for you today. :)

Such a beautiful dreamer yes indeed

Artist Reply: Thanks, John! I thought him rather handsome compared to some of my characters. Hope all is good in your neck of the woods. :)
