It was a great game. The American's really gave the Canadians a run for their money!

Nova Scotia Artist Maud Lewis

I found a good blog article on Nova Scotia artist Maud Lewis. She painted beautiful folk art with oil paints. Her artwork is breathtaking. Maud Lewis lived in poverty and was deformed with arthritis, yet created art her whole life. Read more about her inspiring story here.

I reserved a book on her life from the library today and am going to introduce Maud Lewis to our children. We'll also try our hand at painting her pictures by following the instructions on this great site Art Projects for Kids.
