This intimate painting features Christ Church Cathedral and Roper House located at the edge of downtown Ottawa along Sparks Street. The sharp edges of the 1970s office structures stand in stark contrast of the elegant 1893 mansion, the tall cathedral spire and the lush park. This beautiful oil on canvas was painted by the prolific artist Martha Markowsky. Her work is found in numerous public and private collections including the Canadian Museum of History and the City of Ottawa Art Collection.
