I can't imagine painting like that either... I will add two more paintings of Mary's to the blog... we only bought prints of these rather than the actual original but they still look wonderful - we actually met Mary a few times as we are members of the Scottish Rock Garden Club and Mary was an Aberdeen member - I remember her in her wheelchair at the Aberdeen Show when she was around 100 years old and still bright as a button

Interesting blog, Moon grower.
Wow, Mary must have had very good eye-sight at 100 years old... and a steady hand....

Beautiful botanical art!!!!!! It takes a huge amount of skill and great observation to produce work like that.

I can only hope that I am still able to paint when I'm 100 (if I last that long!)

Wonderful paintings - what an artist she was! I hope I can paint like that by the time I'm 100 (if I practice every day).

Here is a link to a site that talks about Mary and has some more of her wonderful paintings

Mary did brill at her age the painting are great.

I also bought 2 cards with primula paintings of Mary's, will scan these and put up tomorrow

Gosh she was born when the garden was then!! still painting at 100 and that good too, what lovely pictures.

Well there is hope for me yet, when I get to 80 I will start.

Lovely garden and lovely paintings too, can't imagine many being able to paint that beautifully at that age, just incredible. More respect for her too, certainly from me!
