Riverwalk
pastel and charcoal
22.9 x 30.5 cm (9" x 12")


This is Winnipeg's riverwalk at the junction of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers. In the drawing the Assiniboine is on the right, and the Red straight ahead. The riverwalk runs along the Assiniboine and then curves around to follow the Red River. That's St. Boniface to the east across the river.

The riverwalk is enjoyed by many people. Unfortunately, in the spring and summer it is underwater two or three times because of flooding. But such is the nature of a riverwalk.
