Original artwork description:

This is an illustration of the story of the Ruddy Shelducks who were separated by jealous gods and could never be reunited for fear of sever punishments so they spend their time calling back and forth to each other across the body of water that separates them. The flowers are amaryllis, symbollic of unrequited love, and the moon, a common symbol of love, also represents the fact that these birds are mostly active at night.

Executed in a mixture of technical pens, markers, and acrylic inks, this artwork measures 42x56cm on cold-pressed watercolour paper and is presently unframed.
