I read this on TOH previously and again today. What a delight to read about such an extraordinary artist from the pen of another extarordinary artist. Beautiful writing. Thank you.

I recall reading this when you first posted it, Denise. It inspired me to research. Maud myself. On re-reading, her story is as fresh and delightful as it was the first time. Get some good rest and feel better soon. Adding a prayer for good measure!

It really struck me this story when I read it last year. I remember telling the story back to my husband and pondering over it for some time. Thank you Denise and I am hoping and praying you feel better soon.

Thanks for this beautiful piece. We visited Nova Scotia for the first time on a snowy day last Spring, and were struck by the rich vibrant colors of the houses there. Praying for your healing.

As a Canadian and admirer of all things Acadian, I was sooo delighted to read about Maud Lewis’ life. I am sure you have wonderful memories of your meeting her. Here, in Canada, she is considered a true treasure. Thank you for sharing her with us. My family shall implore St. Peregrine for his intercession.
