16. Patchwork Fields

Grant Wood was an American Regionalism artist and painter who is best known for his painting, American Gothic.  His rolling hills and roads winding through his countryside paintings remind me of the American artists I like, such as Grandma Moses and Charles Wysocki.  Billowing clouds, church spires, patchwork fields and trees fill their landscape paintings.  A similar regional colorful landscape painting of a Midwest landscape will remind us of the beautiful area of our country in which we live in.
