Description
A pencil drawing of a lake with a man wearing a hat in a canoe with two paddles above the water. The canoe, which has a reflection in the water, is facing the trees in the background on what looks to be a little island. To the left are cattail plants with a bird atop the tallest one. Still Waters; A Yorkshire man by birth. Richard settled in Oregon by way of London and Los Angeles. He enjoys the challenge of pencil because there are no shortcuts to assure a satisfying picture. Pencil reduces the subject to shape and light which color often masks. He hopes the lack of color helps the viewers to dwell on the inherent forms in each picture. The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information. The Council for this location is: Linn-Benton Arts.
