While we were driving through Iowa last month we decided to stop at the site that the painter Grant Wood was inspired by to paint "American Gothic."
It's one of my favorite paintings. It seems the painting was controversial...Iowa felt it was being poked fun at. Did you ever read any stories about the movie "The Bridges of Madison County" which we also stopped by for a picture. The farmers of Iowa were sure their wives
would never commit to such goings on. But who knows what a lady would do if Clint Eastwood came knocking at her door.
Mr. b finished this picture for me when we got home.
I'm so lucky that he also does the framing for his pictures.
Love the painting!
