For artists Kenneth Ferguson and Diana Ferguson, there’s not much that’s more evocative of "wings and water" than time spent on our lakes and rivers, surrounded by the gentle sound of lapping waves, the rustle of leaves, the scent of pine trees and the call of shorebirds, such as the magnificent kingfisher. There’s something elemental about the solitude, the tranquil setting, the pure connection with nature. This mixed media work combines gouache paintings with off-loom beadwork. The paintings of the kingfisher, lake scape and fishing lure by Kenneth Ferguson are gouache on panel, archivally varnished. The Japanese Kanji symbols, designed and stitched by Diana Ferguson using glass cylinder beads and monofilament thread, represent nature and solitude. All presented on a framed basswood panel.
