INTRODUCTION
This pair of ducks is foraging in Beaver Lake, in the middle of Stanley Park,
Vancouver. Over the past 50 years the lake has slowly become filled up with
vegetation. In the summer frogs are active in the lake, with great blue herons
stalking them on foot through the shallow water. When I was a kid the lake
would freeze over every winter, and was a favorite place for Vancouverites
to go on skating parties. Now, even if the winters were cold enough to freeze
what's left of the lake, there isn't enough open space to skate on.
The drawing is part of the Transient Moorage series of drawings done in 2006.
It is drawn with Pilot DR pigment ink pens and india ink brush pen on
translucent vellum. The drawing is in a 12" x 16" OPUS black metal
exhibition. It is available for $400.00 (four hundred) Canadian.
