Patterson Creek

I got lucky a few years ago and was able to buy a 'project' house facing Patterson Creek in the Glebe neighbourhood of Ottawa. I spent  two years renovating the house on weekends and evenings and am finally able to  do less practical things with my time  now that the house is habitable.We face onto Patterson Creek which is a tributary of the Rideau Canal and bracketed by a park.  This is a sketch of the bridge over the creek looking to the canal.  The little building is one of the most popular  change huts on the canal in the winter when we skate on the ice.  I promise I'll do some sketches of our outdoor activities this winter.
