"A bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush"

I had to illustrate a few proverbs and wise sayings recently. While I was sketching on this one, I thought of this twist on the saying. It has probably been done before... by someone else... but I thought of it all by myself. So there. The sketch was such a mess that I decided to clean it up a bit and add some color. This could be our whole problem... too many birds in the Bush.

  4. It's because of the new software I installed that will pump up the number of comments I get. :0)

    and... this is an example of slapping up something really fast, unencumbered by the thought process. But I did use some vellum and an old PITT pen and my old Wacom tablet and some oxygen...

    no chickens were harmed in the process...
