With Open Eyes

Sometimes I think people wear blinders like mules do so they can only see straight ahead, so there are fewer distractions, fewer things to worry them. It's the old 'out of sight, out of mind' ploy. Or maybe folks just choose to ignore what they see even if it's staring back at them in the mirror. This is a 6 by 4.5 inches gel pen with color pencil drawing on medium bond acid-free paper. It's what Original Jones Art likes to call 'open-eyed art' here in northwest Austin, Texas.
