American Gothic Barn

I had been hoping to stop on sunny day with blue sky at the American Gothic Barn near Mt. Vernon, Iowa, but it worked out that we stopped on a rainy Sunday. I decided that the moody gray sky fits the somber and grim expressions of the couple.

Well, they do look very sombre and the sky looks sombre too. The tree branches make it look eerie.

Is this the work of hopper or a use of it? looks great on that wall.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I don't think it would look as good as it does with a bright blue sky. This sky was perfect for the subject and the mural. Fav!

[Inga Johansson]

A perfect combination of art and weather, good for you to miss the sun :)
