In Anna Robertson’s (Grandma Moses) words, “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.’ Perhaps, one of her paintings ‘Over the Bridge’ offered by Shannon’s Auction was crafted in a similar fashion. The detailed oil on Masonite depicts a snowy neighborhood where it seems children are celebrating the snow.
