Sunday after we had spent time with the kids down town, I got a day to my self and it was really nice to just do something I like to do (don't get me wrong, I had fun with the kids day before). But some days we just need that "Me time". So Mr B, dropped me off at the museum of Civilization (its on the Quebec side and this is the view I had of the Ottawa parlament buildings from the museum). At the museum I first saw a new exhibition of "World Religion" "God(s)", it was interesting and I love learning about all the different kinds of religions there is. And I did a little bit of sketching.
I really liked this wood carving (of Jesus), its amazing how its made. The person who carved it left the bark on some places and its very rough yet the colours of the wood makes it warm looking. The Sculpture of Buddha is in bronze, and this one is such a neat contrast to the wood as it has a lot of fantastic looking details on it. The I walked around the rest of the museum and sketched. Afterwards I walked cross the river to the down town Ottawa area, and the weather again was wonderful, and I took again lot of pictures.
Then I ended up in a coffee shop, and I got a fantastic seat for an artist and especially if you are an artist who liked to watch people and sketch them. It was a bar counter that faces out to the street, and right in front of it is a bus stop and along with it tons of people waiting for their ride. I went through two coffees and one good sandwich (couldn't let go of the seat : )
And here is another sketch, its the bridges that conects Ontario to Quebec.
