Art! No one guessed, although I didn’t really expect anyone to get it. :) We bought this painting from Alison Fowler, an Ottawa-based artist. It’s called Early Morning Blue. Eeep! I’m so thrilled.
I’ll write more about it, and her, and the Westboro Studio tour, and the fact that we need to repaint our dining room, tomorrow, when I have more time and energy to dwell. I’m just too pooped. G’night!

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
