This is probably one of my favorites. In college I did a big project and presentation on Regionalism. As part of the project, I had to create a piece of art in the style of one of the Regionalists. Can you guess who I modeled this painting after? Grant Wood, whose art I find fascinating (and not JUST 'American Gothic'). I used my then-fiance (now husband) and his grandmother as my models. I changed their hair and clothing, and I mimicked the Dutch-realist-type of landscape backgrounds the same way Wood did.
A friend commented the other day that I need to make another painting similar to this, only with my husband and I as the subjects. Maybe! :)
I love this! I knew that was Steve...well, but the hair! oy! lol. Such a warm lovely painting..better than Grant Wood :)
