Puzzle Description:

Quick rendition of Grant Wood's American Gothic.

American Gothic has been held as a symbol of midwestern resolve. Some see it as a satire, but today I choose to use it as a symbolize of the character of those I see around me as they join together, survive and overcome this natural disaster.

BTW, Grant Wood lived in and around Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

a good likeness, thanks :)

Yes, it is a good likeness, especially for it's dimensions. And happily, it was fun to solve.

Loved it, thanks :)

Thank you. It's my first.

Excellent job! Great first puzzle. Hope you will be doing more for us. Thank you.

wow.. great job.. ty

Awesome image Willowtide!
(What name would you prefer btw?)

I've always loved this painting and though I know that many, as you say, see it as satire, I have only seen it as the steady determination of the American farmer. What a terrific choice to honor Iowans right now. Well done! :-)

Congratulations on posting your first puzzle. I too look forward to more of your work.

Thank you so much!

Thank you. You can call me Willow. :)

Nice to meet you Willow. :-)

Nice. Rewarding solve.

...and it's still rewarding in 2023...!
