Oh my GOODeness!
You know that painting "American Gothic" with the farmer and his wife and pitchfork....you know.... that one that gets replicated all the time with them holding different thing besides the pitchfork....? Anyone? Anyone out there?
If you saw said painting, you'd know what I'm talking about.... it looks kinda like this?
Except... this version is 25 feet tall! (and very cool I might add!) And it's at the Indiana State Fair (among a TON of other cool things!)
You can nearly see right up their noses! (yes, I'm a grown adult and yes, I still find that kind of humor funny)
Look at that... the statue is even painted to look like the painting... ummm... well, you know what I mean.
Moral of the story blog is this -- it's cool and you should go see it!
(you can see more of the cool stuff happening at the Indiana State Fair here! It's the Year of Pigs!)

Hi- I am a new follower!
ReplyDeleteJust a fun fact about the American Gothic painting (known by Grant Wood fans all over): That's a farmer and his DAUGHTER...not a wife.
ReplyDeleteChanges the whole meaning, doesn't it????
Enjoy the fair!!
I have never been to any state fair anywhere and would love to have Indy be my first time!!
