virtual GALLERY Landscapes (click on image to enlarge it) 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.
