Waiting for Christmas 1960

"Waiting for Christmas" is a 1960 painting by American folk artist Grandma Moses (1860-1961). The painting depicts four children in bed waiting for Christmas morning, with a spinning wheel and a chair in the foreground. It is a heartwarming scene that captures the innocence of childhood and the anticipation of Christmas. The artwork is a quintessential example of Grandma Moses's style, characterized by its bright colors, simple forms, and nostalgic subject matter. Moses's works were often based on her own memories of rural life in the 19th century, and "Waiting for Christmas" is no exception.
