Answer: Popular media

McDonell Farm is a painting by Grandma Moses. She was inspired by the nursery rhyme "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." Moses gathered her sources from popular media, such as magazine illustrations, greeting cards and advertisements. She traced the contours of figures and buildings and incorporated them into her compositions. The painting was purchased by Duncan Phillips.
