The original sketch more closely resembled a chicken with its comb but as I worked on the piece I thought it looked more like a grackle---and a male one at that. So I thought what would represent a reluctant incubator better than a male bird. It stands roughly 10.75 inches tall and its base is 3.5 inches wide. I made a little stand befitting the hard won egg which resides on its right. This is more of that dubious Original Jones Art as it manifests itself in Austin, Texas
