“I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.” ~ Anna Mary Robertson Moses or Grandma Moses September 7, 1860 – December 13, 1961

“I look back on my life like a good day’s work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.” ~ Anna Mary Robertson Moses or Grandma Moses September 7, 1860 – December 13, 1961
