HALIFAX A treasure trove of newly discovered Maud Lewis paintings fetched a hefty sum at an auction house in England earlier this month and at least two of the works are coming home to Canada. The four paintings were snapped up by buyers for nearly 40,000 pounds that s about $63,000 Canadian. Hanson s Auctioneers and Valuers Ltd. handled the sale, which took place on May 1. Auctioneer Jasper Marsh had been contacted by a woman in Banbury, UK who was moving. She d inherited some things from her grandparents, and wondered if they were worth anything. Marsh found the four paintings in a box, but was unfamiliar with Lewis work.
