Grandma Moses: Moving Day on the Farm 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

With her artistic eye and homespun optimism, Anna Mary Robertson “Grandma” Moses showed the world what it meant to find color and joy in the everyday. A self-taught artist, she took up painting late in life, after needlework became too much for her arthritic hands. Her captivating folk art depictions of rural America hit home, recalling simple pleasures and ordinary life on the farm—sugaring off, the coming of spring, autumn pumpkin harvests. Long before her death at 101, she had become known as “the nation’s Grandma,” with US presidents sending annual birthday greetings. “I look back on my life like a good day’s work,” Moses said. “It was done and I feel satisfied with it. . . . And life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.”
