Anna Mary Robertson was a famous American painter. It is often said that Anna first took up painting when she was nearly 80 years old. In fact, when she was a little girl, she drew whenever she had a chance.

安娜-玛丽-罗伯逊是美国著名画家。人们常说，安娜是在将近 80 岁时才开始画画的。事实上，当她还是一个小女孩时，只要有机会她就会画画。

Long before she became known, Anna lived a life full of challenges. She always kept busy with farm chores, housework, and children, but she never really stopped pursuing (追求) art.

早在成名之前，安娜的生活就充满了挑战。她总是忙于农活、家务和孩子，但她从未真正停止过对艺术的追求。

In Anna’s late age, she pictured some scenes in her mind before painting. She would close her eyes and recall a happy time from her early life. She would remember helping her father on the farm. She would see the people, the farm buildings, and the animals. She would imagine the blue mountains and the softly falling snow.

晚年的安娜在作画前会在脑海中想象一些场景。她会闭上眼睛，回忆起早年的快乐时光。她会想起在农场帮父亲干活的情景。她会看到人们、农场建筑和动物。她会想象蔚蓝的群山和轻轻飘落的雪花。

Anna’s friends and family members loved the paintings. She gave them away as gifts. A friend hung several of the paintings in a local store. One day a stranger came into the store and bought every one of her paintings. He took her paintings to New York City and showed them to some art collectors. One of these collectors, Dr. Kallir, liked the paintings. He hung some of them in his gallery (画廊). The newspaper did a story about the art show. The reporter called Anna “Grandma Moses.” From then on almost everyone called her that way. Grandma Moses kept on painting. Her paintings got better, and they got more popular.

安娜的朋友和家人都很喜欢这些画。她把这些画作为礼物送人。一位朋友将几幅画挂在了当地的一家商店里。有一天，一个陌生人走进店里，买下了她的每一幅画。他把她的画带到纽约，给一些艺术收藏家看。其中一位收藏家卡里尔博士很喜欢这些画。他把其中一些挂在自己的画廊里。报纸对画展进行了报道。记者称安娜为 "摩西奶奶"。从那以后，几乎所有人都这么叫她。摩西奶奶继续画画。她的画越来越好，也越来越受欢迎。

In her lifetime, Moses created about 1,500 works of art. They were cheerful, warm and full of life, just like Grandma herself. Her paintings still remain popular today.

摩西一生创作了约 1500 幅作品。这些作品欢快、温暖、充满生机，就像奶奶本人一样。她的画作至今仍深受人们喜爱。
