"For American Gothic, grant Wood's portrait of a stern Midwestern couple in front of a farmhouse, the artist used his sister and his dentist as models. The Gothic-style house in the background was based on a local rooming house. Wood loved the architectural detail and once worked as a builder of miniature houses."
Where is your favorite house? What is its style of architecture? What about it appeals to you? Or what is your dream house?
Add a little adobe or cob construction, some solar and geothermal heat, a big back deck and we're talking.
