Grandma Moses

A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day. ”

I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene. ”

Painting's not important. The important thing is keeping busy. ”

Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. ”

If you know somethin' well, you can always paint it but people would be better off buyin' chickens. ”

I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it. ”

A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells. ”
