Grandma Moses: The Ultimate Folk Artist in America + a couple of tricks I missed!

[@karenstewart8818]

I never appreciated my hometown in Upstate NY, just 36 miles north of Eagle Bridge (Hudson Falls), until I left home. I grew up in an area heavily involved in the Revolution and even in school we went on what I thought was a 'boring' field trip to Fort Ticonderoga (my mom's home town). So looking at Grandma Moses' drawings evoke strong memories for me and am proud she was part of my home state.

I've been to Fort Ti twice! It's an awesome place!

[@femalism1715]

I love Grandma Moses! She painted history while it happened! It looks like her grandson paints life 'as it happened'. Thanks for sharing this beautiful folk art tradition! Here in Canada, Maud Lewis, is the celebrated folk artist, inspired by Grandma Moses but who painted in an even more simple style.

[@cabincrafts2239]

Thank you! I'll have to look her up!

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Love this style!! I know life was hard then but seemed so peaceful and simple. I was born in the wrong century. Music, architecture, just society in general. God bless you!!

[@cabincrafts2239]

You and me both sister! I wish there was a way to live like that now! We are so dependent upon modern hadgets (as I type on my phone, lol)!

[@aimee2234]

I love it, Kandye! Grandma Moses is an American icon. Thank you and a blessed 4th ❤🤍💙 to you, sister in Christ! xoxo

[@cabincrafts2239]

Grandma Moses property and Will Moses gallery is about 35 minutes from my home. Have many Will Moses prints and love every one of them.

[@cabincrafts2239]

Lucky you! He and his wife are sweet people and he is very talented!

[@joannescantlebury744]

Hey Kandye. Thanks for the tutorials for painting the little chest. I think I could do that.Grandma Moses paintings are so full of character and charm. I have the card from you called Market Day by will Moses,it’s so lovely. Thanks again and God Bless❤️❤️❤️

[@cabincrafts2239]

You are so welcome! God's blessings to you and yours and God bless America!

[@qiajenaehamilton6397]

Kandye, you are the last person I would think was asking for money! Your shoppe has amazing things & I'm soooo grateful you are sharing all your info. Now, for some of your grandad's stories! LOL Love & blessings!

[@cabincrafts2239]

Thank you Q, I'll consider that, he was born in the 1800's and died in 1985, sadly the week of my wedding😪

@@cabincrafts2239 I am sorry about that timing, but perhaps God set it up that way so he could make sure everything went well from the other side? Bless you!

Have you visited much in Vermont. Three different times I went there with friends to take classes at King Arthur Flour. I love visiting Bennington Pottery along the way. I enjoy Grandma Moses and will Moses, also Currier and Ives.

[@cabincrafts2239]

Yes! While my son lived there we visited about twice a year. I have some Bennington pottery and I love it! I saw Norman Rockwell's place.

[@janeschreiner5000]

@ I think we are long lost sisters! The long cracker holder (I know there is a better name for it) is what I put my clove stuffed oranges in for Christmas. I fill the little bowls with scented potpourri. I am not as fond of their new colors as I am of their solid ones.

[@AnnYoung-h5h]

Kandye I love folk art! Wish you would expand this series!! I have a lithograph of P Buckley Moss! Friends and I met her at her Apple Barn studio I bought Springtime At the Bridge in 20004! She was so nice!! Even stayed late as we were traveling from Amish country in Pennsylvania!!

[@cabincrafts2239]

I remember she was so big in the 80's. Her work is still precious! I will continue to mix it in because there is so much of it to cover! I also loved Carol Endres in the 90's. I had her wallpaper all over my house. I wish they still manufactured it. It would still be relevant today!

[@AnnYoung-h5h]

@@cabincrafts2239 Yes! Her wallpaper was beautiful! Some available on Etsy!!

[@HannahofYore]

Great video! Have a blessed Independence Day! 🎆

[@cabincrafts2239]

Thank you! You too!

[@ardicesaugar3979]

So I should start painting now. LOL

Why not? Give it a go!
