Mother's Love


For almost 400 years cattle have grazed on the dyke lands of Grand Pre. This land has been reclaimed from the sea that formerly washed over the soil every 12 hours. Now the land is rich and productive, protected by dyke's which keep the mighty Bay of Fundy back.
This painting is 18 by 13 inches.

Remembering


The place remembers the forced deportation of the Acadian from Grand Pre in 1755. Blomidon Mountain flanks the powerful Bay of Fundy which washes in to the site of the Deportation Cross. The old elm tree marks the spot where people were loaded on ships to sail to lands unknown to them. This painting is 8 inches by 10 inches.  SOLD
