The Wise Man and the Fool


"The Wise Man and the Fool" - 11 by 7.3 inches - Drawn in photoshop with a wacom tablet.

Proverbs is a book of wisdom and advice on how to live morally. Proverbs often talks of the path of a wise person vs the path of a foolish person. It seeks to persude us to seek the path of the wisdom.

This image came to mind while reading through proverbs. Wisdom is often spoken of as being precious like fine jewels, gold, and silver. Foolishness on the other hand is explained much differently. The word "fool"  comes from a Latin work "follis" which means bellows or bag. It's a bag of air. There is no substance to it. It's an "empty headed" person who lacks sense.

Here is a link to the verse in proverbs:
