I'm going to stick to photography

Earlier this month I went to dinner with my parents, to celebrate my dad's birthday. Normally we'd go somewhere half decent, but we were short on time and both my parents were on the way to meetings, so we stopped in at Montana, a local saloon style restaurant. The kind of place that covers your table with brown packing paper and provides you with crayons.

As is my habit, I doodled a little, displaying what little talent I have with any sort of writing/drawing implement.

While we were eating, I kept being distracted by a woman two tables over. She spent the whole time we were there drawing away, and I couldn't imagine what she was working on. I asked the waitress, and she said it was quite magnificent, so I had to go and investigate.

I apologized profusely for interrupting their dinner, and told the woman I was very curious about her drawing. WELL! It. Was. Magnificent. The woman, whose name I didn't catch, didn't have an email address for me to send the picture to, so I gave her my url and she said she'd have her daughter take a look. Well, today I got a message from Kathleen (HI!), who was here looking, so I thought it's probably time I actually posted the photo.

The drawing is of an area near Lake Muskoka, which she'd painted a few times over the summer. I believe she said she normally paints with water colours.

Here it is:
