Painting is fun!

Painting is great fun!

I was sent a photo which made me smile - it almost looked like a living American Gothic. So I asked permission to paint it, which was granted - and the painting above is the result.

Quite a few of my paintings are very symbolic and this one is no exception.
Lots of hidden meanings in here, should you care to search.
Nice image to look at should you not care to search!

This painting was also part of my portfolio when I took my City & Guilds art exam., and I am sure it contributed to my success.
