The Story Behind The Drawing:
When I received the commission for this particular drawing, it was already mid-winter with the lake frozen over and a significant amount of snow on the ground. However, the Provincial Park officials that hired me to do this drawing, requested that I create it to look like summer scene. So as I was sitting in the snow alongside a cross-country ski trail, freezing my butt and trying to envision this scene as one of a warm summer's day.... eventually along came a couple of skiers. They looked down at my drawing... back up at the scene in front of us... and again back down at my drawing... and then they said to me.... "Man.... you must have been sitting here for a really long time!"
