GRANDMA MOSES a Visit To The Bennington Museum

When HubbyBear and I traveled to Vermont 
this last Oct 2014, one of our "Artist Pilgrimage"
stops was to the Bennington Historical Museum
in Bennington Vt. to view works by beloved 
Artist Grandma Moses
It was a marvelous experience and I highly recommend
making this a stop if you are visiting the area!

The scene across from the museum 
indulged the eyes and readied the heart in anticipation
for the paintings and works inside!!  









Everywhere outside were artful
works or pieces of history to see


I was so pleased to see this beautiful 
driftwood statue by Rita Dee!!
                                  









                                 Before Grandma Moses started painting she enjoyed doing
                                 needle embroidery pieces as gifts, until her arthritis became
                                 too intense.  That's when some one suggested she take up                                            painting!!!


There are no photographs allowed in the gallery but I caught this 
entrance shot before we went inside!!
Once I came face to face with her very brush strokes
I was only a nose away and just stared and looked
at each painting and every detail....I was in awe, and just
 appreciated her intentions and expressions so very much more!!

This table was her painting table that she also decorated!
I got down on my knees and saw what was painted underneath!



                                               
Anna Mary Robertson Moses September 7, 1860 – December 13, 1961
