Yes, I think so, Google Grant Wood.

That light – it makes me think early morning, low humidity. It’s a lovely light. And you two make a cute couple, even without the pitch forks.

Tim Burton’s variation. And it makes me think it’d be fun for us to come up with captions for your photos.

Beautiful work, FJ.

Pondering their next move, if I’m not mistaken… Thanks for the shout-out, FJ.

I googled American Gothic and instead was treated to some good old American murder and child endangerment, thanks to Sam Raimi, Gary Cole and Lucas Black. Really nothing to do with the picture, but a great series nonetheless.

Of course there’s a next move, right? Good to see you CLT.

Looks like the book cover pic of Stephen King’s next novel.

Has King written a novel about shopping? I agree it would be scary.

Every one of his books is about shopping, from buying a dog, to going on a vacation, to getting a plot for your dog.

All of these great shadows are cracking me up. The whole back cover of one of my books is a big shadow like that. My daughter took the picture of her own shadow when she was five.

Its all shadows all the time.

Very cool FJ!! Scary too; I never did care for the couple in that painting, they have too much of a Children of the Corn type feel. BG was right, I’m sure King would bite!

Scott, that’s exactly what I think when I see that painting as well…..total “Children of the Corn” look to it. You just know they have dead people in their basement.

How did I miss this yesterday?? Anyhoo….this one immediately made me think of one Mr. YnB took of himself on green grass….the monster lurks within……

If I didn’t know better, I’d say that was a pickpocket about to go down… wait, I guess I don’t know any better. Were you robbed? By your wife? A mystery lady from Cabanolazga?
