His car broke down at night, so he knocked on the door of an old woman in her seventies, and asked her permission to make a phone call.

After he finished his call, he saw many paintings hanging on the wall and expressed his admiration and fascination with them,,,,

The old man asked, surprised by his drawing, and the old man replied: I,,

He asked her if she had tried to display her paintings in art exhibitions?!

She said: No,

My late husband told me that I am only fit for the house and for raising children only!

When I was young, I believed my husband

I did not violate him so as not to fail, as he said,,,,

But I still love drawing and carry out his instructions to draw only for myself..

And the man said to her,

Would you allow me to take some of your paintings and show them to a group of specialists, critics and gallery owners,,,

It didn't matter to her, and she agreed.

The surprising surprise that turned her life,,,,

The paintings achieved amazing sales of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and suddenly the old woman, at the age of seventy, became one of the most famous artists and lived as a distinguished artist,,,

She lived to witness her resounding artistic and literary success,,, One of her paintings was sold for $1.2 million in 2006...

Today, her paintings are displayed as collections in the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Plaza in New York.

It's "#AnnaMarieRobertsonMoses,"

Known as "Grandma Moses"

The government of the United States of America honored her by making a postage stamp bearing her name in 1969 AD

*** Don't believe what others see in you,,,,

Believe in yourself first and follow your feelings, and never give up on your dreams to please people,,,,,

. Success can come in ways you don't think of.

And in the simplest coincidences,,,,,,!

CATCHING THE THANKSGIVING TURKEY (1943) by GRANDMA MOSES

This painting by GRANDMA MOSES depicts the preparations for Thanksgiving. In the background, four guys are chasing a bunch of turkeys in front of a white barn. The turkeys are trying to get away, but the guy in the red coat and hat has a rifle out and ready to go.

The painting depicts a farmhouse situated on the left-hand side of the image. Two individuals are seen standing in front of the open door, while a sleigh drawn by a horse is transporting guests to the residence. The scene is framed against a backdrop of dark blue sky, complemented by white snowflakes.

On one hand, it is a traditional greeting card; on the other hand, it manages to incorporate the concept of life and death and to recognize the cyclical nature of life and the brutality of the life force. The solemnity of the message is reinforced by the vivid blood red paint applied to the turkeys' heads and the jackets.

This painting illustrates one of the primary themes of MOSES' work: Celebrations and Holidays. Rather than simply capturing the focal point of the celebration, that is, the celebration itself, MOSES' depictions often included the activities necessary for the preparation of the holiday.

These totally innocent depictions of holiday celebrations became a way for MOSES to create a sense of what the holiday should be like, which was then used to promote products and even make political statements.
