【解析】本文主要讲述一位老奶奶76岁才开始学画画,并成为了美国最著名的艺术家之一的故事。
but 前后是转折关系。
because 后面接的从句是她转行开始画画的原因。从句也可视作时间状语从句,填when。
carefully 修饰谓语动词painted,作状语,用副词。
herself 由后文“开始卖作品给别人”可知,她先只是自己画给自己看,取悦于自己。
for 表示交换用for,sell sth. for…意为“以多少钱卖某物”。
hanging 是非谓语动词短语作定语,修饰名词works,因works与hang(悬挂)是主动关系,用现在分词短语作定语。
bought 与liked和set out并列,一起作谓语,时态也应一致。
more 因他喜欢她的画,所以他开始寻找“更多”Grandma Moses 的作品。
a 为了把Grandma Moses 的作品介绍给别的艺术家,所以他“举行了一次展览”。
who 引导定语从句并在从句中作主语,先行词是Grandma Moses。
