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
