Death, fire, and suffering plagued the Tricou family. One by one their numbers lessened, and each body was buried on the family grounds. In the end, only the two cousins were left. Fricorith and Gvaudoin promised to care for each other and find a way to break their family’s curse.
I love the Tricou family, but when I play with huge families like them, I'm so busy trying to keep everyone alive and happy that I forget to take screenshots.
One thing that worth mentioning is that Jennail is trying to have a daughter, to be the heir of the family fortune and mansion, since it is a matriarcal family. In the meanwhile, Gvaudoin and Jennicor are not going along at all, poking each other left and right.
Thanks to one of my friends, I have been reminded that A.Y. Jackson, CC, CMG, RCA, LL.D., one of Canada's famed Group of Seven/Algonquin School artists, died on this day 50 years ago (April 5, 1974).
A.Y. Jackson is an artist whose work I have always loved, so it was a thrill some years ago when I learned that he painted the farm of my great-grandparents, Gustaf Heinrich “Gus” Nitschke and Minna Auguste Matilde “Melina” Nitschke (née Brunke), in his piece Road End Farm, Poltimore, Quebec (1963). Technically, this painting also includes my great-grandmother and her dog in it if you look closely.
The painting is unfortunately not in our family (and last sold for around $50k Canadian to a private collector, to my understanding), but I've been dreaming for years of trying to track down the owner to try to negotiate to get prints made to distribute to some of my relatives. Either way, it's nice to know that this piece exists and by one of my favourite Canadian artists at that.
