Japanese Pigeons
I'm working on a new painting dealing with some school girls and guys feeding the pigeons in an open area. The Japanese didn't mess with changing the pigeons habits by putting up electric fences on their buildings to electrocute them like they did in Philadelphia when they got tired of clean up their s--t. I always wanted to catch one of those fast little bird when I was in Japan and before I left that town, a man noticed my desire to hold one of them and he caught one and gave it to me to hold. I remember thinking "it's not what it's cracked up to be holding on to this mess of a bird" I lost my need to catch one after that experience. But I had my picture taken with the bird by my Dad who happened to be with me at the time. One of those things we all can learn from I guess is getting just what we asked for, it can cure you of the desire entirely.
