About Sleigh Ride Maud Lewis Canadian Folk Artist Painting
Maud Lewis lived in a tiny little home with no electricity and plumbing. While there were people walking on the Moon, she and Everett lived a mostly pre-modern life that was attuned to the rhythms of the changing seasons. She painted everything from tulips in spring, hummingbirds in summer, deer in the fall and logging with oxen in winter. It’s almost always sunny in her paintings. Year round she sat in her chair by the window painting her world. What made her paint a sleigh ride in summer? Maybe she painted it on a hot July day, thinking it would be fun to take a ride in the snow or maybe it was a frosty January day and she was dreaming of warmth. She had the artistic license to paint whatever she wanted.About the Posters
