Three rare Maud Lewis paintings up for auction in Saint John have sold for well above their estimated values. She suspects there are a number of reasons for that, including the material Lewis used for her paintings. In the early years, the artist often used beaverboard, a building material made of pressed wood fibres, that was like a rugged type of cardboard. It's just really easily lost or destroyed. And so it's just possible that they've been thrown away or lost or, like in this case, just kind of hidden away. With the help of a Nova Scotia-based expert, Jones said the paintings are believed to have been painted by the celebrated artist in the s.
