Tamed Tides

The Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia, Canada has the highest tides in the world. For more than 400 years the tide has been tamed by the Acadian farmers who first blocked the sea by building the first dikes . These dikes prevent the powerful Bay of Fundy from washing over the land every 12 hours. These fertile dike lands are maintained by modern farmers in a cooperative manner. It is proposed that this site become an UNESCO World Heritage Site . This original painting shows the deep mud flats which border the fields protected by earthen dikes. The painting is 19 by 14 inches.

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.
