“Bobcat I”

“Bobcat I” – Pen and ink. This was the first Bobcat dad did in pen and ink prior to the one I posted that he did in 1982. This was done in 1980 or ’81. This of course, as many others, was hidden away for decades. Maybe it’s because dad didn’t like this one too much for some reason and was very critical of it.  He might not have like it, but it was the first of many more to come.  Each pen and ink wildlife that dad after this was even better than the the previous.  Dad self admittedly acknowledged he was consistently learning something new no matter the medium he was working with.  In fact, dad was adamant about learning new things, because he wanted to be the best in any particular medium he challenged himself with.
