The Story Behind
"War is neither glamorous, nor attractive. It is monstrous. Its very nature is of tragedy and suffering." - Dalai Lama
Wars are fought because of the political agenda of those who hold the reins of power. The destruction, devastation, loss of human life and suffering are the consequences that innocent people and their families suffer. History repeats itself. As human beings we have been fighting for centuries and yet we have not changed our ways.
This painting takes you back to the time when France and England were at war with each other. The effect of this war spread to wherever their colonies were,
In this painting you see Evangeline looking at the ship leaving with her soul mate, Gabriel, knowing in her heart that she may never see him again. In the distance the ravaging fires are burning her village.
This painting presents the story of forced separation of a loving couple, Evangeline and Gabriel, which has become a symbol of the suffering of the Acadians during the deportation of 1755. The fires were set to burn the homes of Acadians, leaving them homeless. They were forced to board on ships with or without their family members. The ships were sent to different destinations. As a result the family members were never united.

Knowing where one wants to go, setting the goal and focusing on it are important in order to succeed. If one can eliminate distractions and stay focused on a single goal, success is not hard to attain. Sometimes it takes a young six-year old to remind us of this. It is based on a true story.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
