Marion is locked in her room. She is grounded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Her high school years are far from fun. She can’t concentrate, she hates the people in her class. Suddenly, her grades are in freefall. And her parents have found nothing better than to deprive her of video games until further notice. So without a phone, without internet\u2026 Marion is bored to death. No way that she reviews anything. No, no and no, definitely not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she searches\nthrough her mother’s desk drawer looking for a four-color pen, she\nstumbles upon an old, rather thick piece of paper. Intrigued, she\ntakes it out, turns it over and\u2026. Ohhh, it’s a watercolor. She\nsomehow deciphers the signature, she reads “Sidranne”.\nWell, that’s weird, she doesn’t know who it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s when her\nmother comes home from work. Marion takes the opportunity to ask her\nthe question. In fact, it is the grandmother of her mother who was a\npainter and who had given it to her when she was home because she had\nloved this drawing. She always kept it close to her. It had been a\nlong time since she had taken it in her hands. She is overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marion sees a\nwindmill and houses in the foreground. It’s after a Dutch painter\nJongkind, her mother told her. Your great-grandmother was very fond\nof this painter. To chill she was inspired by him for her\nwatercolors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the record,\nwindmills are the symbol of the Netherlands, mostly built in the 16th\nand 17th centuries. At the height of the period, they numbered more\nthan 10,000 in action across the country. Then they disappeared with\nthe arrival of steam, gasoline and electricity. They were mainly used\nfor flood prevention and little for grinding grain. Thanks to the\nwind, which activated a system that worked like a pump, the mills\nevacuated the water behind the dykes and thus served to dry up the\nmarshes and the land reclaimed from the sea. Once these lands were\ndried up, the inhabitants could cultivate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marion is also overwhelmed. She decides to hang the watercolor on the wall of her bedroom.

Since then, Marion has been at the top of her class and every day has become a real pleasure to learn…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
