Quotation

Reporter: Everett, you must feel very lucky to have Maud as your wife. Maud Lewis has been an artist most of her life. Her paintings have even been sold to Vice President Nixon. This happy couple, who only live with the bare necessities of life, and yet somehow, they flourish. Everett: I chop the wood. I do the dishes. Now all she does is paint. Paint a picture a day. Paint all seasons. I told her a wife is supposed to mind her husband. She does as she likes. Reporter: Who would have thought this little, arthritic woman living on the fringe of society would have such incredible and far-reaching success? You can find Maud Lewis still selling her paintings from the front steps of her little house here in Marshalltown, Nova Scotia.
