Owl's Head on the west side of Lake Memphremagog in Quebec, Canada has been the inspiration for many artists. Here are two watercolors done by my uncle Robert Montgomery. You will see my aunt Peggy in the foreground of the lower painting. These were on the wall of my cousin Ann's house. Worth a trip to Ogden, Canada (AKA Beebe or Cedarville) to see them and Ann.

What fun. I love the feeling of height in the hemlocks and the repose of Peggy in the foreground.
My most vivid memory of Monty was that of fishing on the Hemlocks dock and him pushing a fish hook that he had caught in his finger through his finger to get it out after cutting off the head. Ouch! I don't remember him even flinching.
Just the other day I wrote about pushing a wriggling worm down onto a hook and leaving about a half an inch at the end so it would wriggle and attract the fish that Uncle Monty missed.
I'm glad you're documenting these found paintings, Barb! Keep up the good work!
Never knew his name was Robert!
