If you were to look on the back of this drawing, you'd find a different title, one a bit more 'countrified.' Dad used a lot of colloquialisms and one of them involved a 'sh?? eating grin.' But that doesn't really sound very artsy, does it? So I bounced a few ideas around and came up with this one for AW. There's always a 'self-ordained jokester' in every crowd, young and old. Actually, I'm not 100 percent sure I wasn't that individual growing up. This is a 6 by 4.5 inches gel pen with color pencil drawing on medium bond acid-free paper. Original Jones Art is having another quiet day of 'personal reflection' here in northwest Austin, Texas.
