Double Matted and Framed with Archival Glass, this serigraph-silkscreen print entitled "Opeongo Red" by Bruce Herchenrader is truly uniquely beautiful.

"I took a trip to Algonquin Park with my children, Tegan and Pearce, niece and nephew, Matthew and Emily in 1996. We paddled up Lake Opeongo from the entrance and camped on the spit of land that marks the right hand channel of the lake as it branches to the east. I stood in the water up to my neck with a pre digital film camera, taking photographic studies that I used to create this serigraph "Opeongo Red." The sunset one evening was awesome. The red light permeated everything. I've captured the moment when the sunset was at its brightest cusp as only moments later the glow was gone.

This serigraph was part of the environmental achievement award that the magazine Equinox gave each year to an outstanding achievement by those individuals that were working to preserve the environment. The individual who spearheaded the conservationist movement to stop the Geddes open pit mine at the river's headwaters and lobbied the B.C. government to set aside the Tatshenshini River watershed asked for this one specifically. He told me that it was the canoe trips with his father on Lake Opeongo when he was a boy that got him involved in the preservation of the wilderness. The Tatshenshini Provincial Park, Kluane National Park in the Yukon and Glacier Park in Alaska form the largest wilderness preserve in the world. Hearing him recount his story and the importance of this image to him was a humbling moment for me."
