カナダの港町で夫と小さな家に住み､絵を描き続けた素朴派画家モード・ルイス。彼女の生活は貧しかったけれど、彼女の絵には、貧しさとは無縁の伸び伸びとした創造性があった。彼女は疾患を抱え生活も貧しく夫も武骨で口がよいとは言えない人。けれども彼女は幸せだった。夫に辛辣なことを言われても決して夫のことを悪く言わず向き合っていくうちに夫も彼女の創作活動に協力的になり全面的に彼女を支えるようになっていった。手に届かない幸せを追い求めるより自分の現実の中に生きがいを見出し現実の人間関係を良好なものに育てることこそが幸福の定義なのかもしれない。

Living in a small house with her husband in a Canadian port city
Maud Lewis, a naive painter who continued to paint her paintings. Although her life was poor, her paintings had a creativity that was unrelated to her poverty. She has a sickness, a poor life, and her husband is stubborn and unspeakable. But she was happy. Even if her husband tells her harsh things, she never speaks badly about her husband, and as she faces her, her husband also becomes supportive of her creative activities and fully supports her. It started to look like this. Rather than pursuing unreachable happiness, it may be the definition of happiness to find a purpose in one's reality and to develop good relationships in reality.
