Great Canadian Artist Alex Colville died today. One of his great works was "French Cross" which honours the memory of Acadians expelled from Grand Pre.
Alec spent his last professional years at Acadia University - at Grand Pre - after spending his middle years in Sackville, NB - original site of Tintamarre and across the marshes from Beaubassin.
A great tribute to the tragedy and triumph of Acadians.

Am almost finished Tintamarre - am writing the ending... It has been a challenge to try and include joy and tragedy in such an epic - often emotional. But once it is finished, I hope it revives the happy stories and reminds us of the bravery and strength of the Acadian people.

    I was born 3 miles from the scene of the action and played in the places where the principals in Tintamarre lived and died.
