As I was sketching, the ferry workers were shouting their heads off directing the trucks and coaches as they reversed all the way onto and to the back of the ferry. They had to park really tightly. I presume they were shouting “left”, “right” and “stop” in Italian. It was so funny. It reminded me of the international It’s A Knockout.
I was walking all around this neighbourhood looking for a cactus with the same shape as a fire hydrant.
Pen and ink with ink washes of a figure, a road and two empty, along with some related creative writing, which explains the inspiration.
Look at me going! Only 10 days behind! ;)

There's an interesting building on the Ottawa River which has existed there ever since 1914. It was built by the Ottawa New Edinburgh Club (ONEC) and served for many years as a centre for canoeing, rowing and sailing. Last year major renovations were completed by the National Capital Commission and the building opened up anew with a café, outdoor patios, a ballroom for rent, an outside swimming pool, and offices for the Ottawa River Keeper. It's a lovely spot for anyone interested in activities on or by the river. I visited it last autumn and enjoyed a tour of the building and a light lunch on the patio overlooking the water. It brought back memories of when I learnt to sail at its marina (RA Sail) and later when I docked my boat there. It's great to see a heritage structure like this being repurposed into a something that everyone can enjoy.
Il y a un bâtiment intéressant sur la rivière des Outaouais qui existe depuis 1914. Il a été construit par l'Ottawa New Edinburgh Club (ONEC) et a servi pendant de nombreuses années de centre de canotage, d'aviron et de voile. L'année dernière, des rénovations majeures ont été complétées par la Commission de la capitale nationale et le bâtiment a rouvert ses portes avec un café, des terrasses extérieures, une salle de bal à louer, une piscine extérieure et des bureaux pour le Gardien de la rivière des Outaouais. C'est un endroit charmant pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent aux activités sur ou au bord de la rivière. Je l'ai visité l'automne dernier et j'ai profité d'une visite du bâtiment et d'un déjeuner léger sur la terrasse surplombant l'eau. Cela m'a rappelé l'époque où j'avais appris à faire le voile à sa marina (RA Sail) et plus tard lorsque j'y ai amarré mon bateau. C'est formidable de voir une structure patrimoniale comme celle-ci transformée en quelque chose dont tout le monde peut profiter.
It's extremely rare that I'll spend time in a bar, but recently when I found out that singer-songwriter Ian Tamblyn was performing at the Black Sheep in Wakefield (Québec) I made an exception. Ian Tamblyn has recorded over 30 albums in his career beginning in 1976. While I certainly haven't heard all of them, I'm impressed by the quiet songs in one of his albums, Walking in the Footsteps - Celebrating the Group of Seven. At the Black Sheep, he played his songs in a folk-rock fashion to a small but dedicated and enthusiatic crowd. I discretely took a couple of photos at the concert and created this ink drawing afterwards. I liked the ambiance of the Black Sheep. It reminded me a little of Le Hibou (not the restaurant next door but the legendary coffee house on Sussex Street in Ottawa that had concerts by the like of Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn, Kris Kristofferson, Neil Young, Muddy Waters and more). I liked the intimate ambiance in the room. It's a big difference from listening to singers in large concert halls even if you can manage to get a seat up front.

Il est extrêmement rare que je fréquente un bar, mais récemment, apprenant que l'auteur-compositeur Ian Tamblyn chantait au Black Sheep à Wakefield (Québec), j'ai fait une exception. Ian Tamblyn a enregistré plus de 30 albums depuis le début de sa carrière en 1976. Bien que je ne les aie certainement pas tous écoutés, je suis impressionné par les chansons intimistes de l'un de ses albums, « Walking in the Footsteps - Celebrating the Group of Seven ». Au Black Sheep, il a interprété ses chansons dans un style folk-rock devant un audience restreint mais enthousiaste et passionné. J'ai discrètement pris quelques photos pendant le concert et réalisé ce dessin à l'encre par la suite. J'ai beaucoup aimé l'ambiance du Black Sheep. Elle m'a un peu rappelé Le Hibou (non pas le restaurant voisin, mais le café-concert légendaire de la rue Sussex à Ottawa, qui a accueilli des artistes comme Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn, Kris Kristofferson, Neil Young, Muddy Waters et bien d'autres). J'ai apprécié l'atmosphère intime de la salle. C'est très différent que d'écouter des chanteurs dans de grandes salles de concert, même si l'on parvient à obtenir une place aux premiers rangs.

An ink drawing I did over a Thanksgiving week in 2015. I ran it through photoshop, lightroom, and topaz, there are probably over 20 layers on it. This one took awhile.

Recently, my wife and I had the pleasure of visiting Britain. The weather was lovely and flowers were in bloom which was in stark contrast to the wicked winter that we've had this year in Ottawa-Gatineau. We took in a number of the normal tourist sites, but enjoyed just slowly walking in the different neighbourhoods of London. It was very different from the urban environment that we see back home. I made this sketch of a small street in Westminster that we walked along one evening. The rooflines impressed us with the steep roofs and tall chimneys. We could well imagine a Peter Pan or Mary Poppins in this neighbourhood.

Récemment, ma femme et moi avons eu le plaisir de visiter la Grande-Bretagne. Le temps était magnifique et les fleurs étaient en pleine floraison, ce qui contrastait fortement avec le terrible hiver que nous avons connu cette année à Ottawa-Gatineau. Nous avons visité quelques sites touristiques incontournables, mais nous avons surtout apprécié flâner dans les différents quartiers de Londres. C'était très différent de l'environnement urbain que nous connaissons chez nous. J'ai réalisé ce croquis d'une petite rue de Westminster où nous nous sommes promenés un soir. Les toits pentus et les hautes cheminées nous ont impressionnés. On aurait facilement pu imaginer Peter Pan ou Mary Poppins dans ce quartier.
