The Maud Lewis and Joe Norris paintings are the expected top lots in the next day's online-only Canadian Folk Art auction, on Sunday, October 13^th, boasting 243 lots of folk art and decoys, also starting at 9 am Eastern. Bidders can participate in real time in both auctions via the live webcast as the auctions close in lot order starting at 9 am. Phone and absentee bids are accepted.

"Wendy and the late Bill Hamilton were meticulous lifetime collectors whose interests ranged from Canadiana and early lighting to quality cast iron banks," said Ethan Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd., adding, "The Rutter family collection, synonymous with quality, includes a documented fraktur work by Anna Weber. Bidders will be impressed with both collections."

The expected top lot of the two days is – no surprise here – Maud Lewis's oil on beaverboard painting titled Train Station in Winter (1960-1961). Ms. Lewis's works have been featured in past Miller & Miller auctions, always with impressive results. This framed work, artist signed with a board size of 17 ½ inches by 13 ½ inches, is a bustling image depicting women in hoop skirts and muffs and men in towering top hats, reminiscent of mid-19^th century Canada. It pops with color, yet the admirer is easily mesmerized by its simplicity (est. $30,000-$40,000, Canadian dollars).
