American Folk Artist, C.1861-1961, Also known as: Anna Mary Robertson Moses.

Grandma Moses, your paintings speak to me.
Each one tells a story that I plainly see.

You were born in Upper State New York.
Anna was your name, but folks called you Sissy,
As if that were your name.

Grandma Moses, your paintings speak to me.
Each one tells a story that I plainly see.

Halloween's my favorite one -
It's full of tricks and treats.
There's lots of details everywhere.
I think you're style is NEAT!

Grandma Moses, your paintings speak to me.
Each one tells a story that I plainly see.

At 70, you picked up your brush
And painted just for FUN!
You made sixteen hundred paintings
And stopped at a hundred and one.

Grandma Moses, your paintings speak to me.
Each one tells a story that I plainly see.

The Mark of the Scots has this famous painter listed as an American Scot.
