The painting
Brise-vent and Champ de blé mûr, below, is showing the close link
between the artist and nature. Even today, she likes to remember those nice
stories about nature.
«
If you’re travelling from
Princeville to the Desharnais’ road, or from the 10th rank in Princeville,
towards the 9th rank in Plessisville, you will see these large trees. Older
people are calling them “wind breaker". The legend is saying that those trees
are protecting harvests of corn, barley, oats or buckweath.
For the
artist, daughter and grand-daughter of millers, the choice of this subject is a
return to her roots. Take a good look at the Lapierre mill in St-Norbert or the
mill in the Village d’Antan de Drummondville. They are both copies of a mill
that was used to card wool on one side and produce flour on the other side.
Those mills remind us the importance of the various agricultural cultures in the
local history.
George Dor use to sing, with
bitterness in his voice, the following song about his hometown, the same
hometown as Mrs. Carle: "If you don’t come from Gaspesia or the Northern Coast,
you’re from nowhere". What he meant by that, is that the value of our roots is
often ignored but how much significant.
