"Swift Creek Morning (Mallard Ducks)"
Graphite pencil on watercolor paper

Available!

This drawing is inspired by one of my many morning walks down to the Swift Creek Reservoir near my house, just outside of Richmond, Virginia. Occasionally, the mornings are overcast and misty along the water’s edge. One morning in the dead silence of the early hour, as I stood on the dock, dog at my side, cup of coffee in my hand, waterfowl appeared and then quickly disappeared in the barely light morning mist. This drawing captures the Mallard duck pair that swam by the dock most often during those quiet and still mornings, right before my dog would bark, shattering the moment like a buzzing alarm clock.
