Shark

Dylan,

Up 'til now, your artwork has been just lines and scribbles. You've shown little interest in actually putting the lines together to create any recognizable form. Well, today after you sharpened your pencil, you asked for a piece of paper and proceeded to draw a shark. You described what you were drawing as you went, and once you got to the "lots of really sharp teeth" I realized there was a true form unfolding before my eyes. After the teeth came the fins, again drawn with purpose. Dad doesn't seem to get my excitement, but I've been waiting for the pictures to emerge. I look forward to a fridge littered with your drawings for years to come. For today the shark stands alone.
