Shark

 

India ink on paper.  12" x 16".  2002.

 

The classic cheap plastic shark toy that every kid has to have; I think I had a couple of them.  I played in india ink quite a bit before I really embraced color in my work.  Practicing with ink was the start of my realization that painting would eventually end up my area of emphasis.  I immediately loved the feel and process of working with a liquid medium and mark-making with brushes.  Gaining control over the flow of ink on paper was an exciting step for me.
