The Chase - Northern Pike and Perch

"The Chase"  is a new Artistic Cartography piece that was produced for The Opinicon Project. It depicts a Northern Pike chasing some perch through the weeds in shallows. Every evening the pike move into the shallow sandy bottom bay in front of our cottage and you can imagine this scene taking place on a regular basis. It is completed in graphite and Staedtler Marker on top of a topographical map of the Rideau Lakes System.
