American Gothic - Vern Style

Most of us here in the USA are familiar with the American Gothic painting you see below.  All my kids have drawn this picture in art class. NONE have drawn it like Vern.  Vern is very creative and puts his spin on all things he does including pictures he draws in art class.





This picture was on a large piece of paper and we had to scan it in two sections to kind of get it into a photo for you to see.  Here is Vern's rendition of American Gothic.



First notice how scared the young wife is. Her mouth is open in a permanent scream.  Probably from her husband who is now an alien instead of a grumpy old man!  The pitch fork, bloody and a mess from the carnage we expect has taken place.  Now look closely in the top right hand corner. The space ship is leaving one of their own and taking up a Holstein cow instead! He has also added some sun to the dreary scene. In the house you can see Vern has added a nice touch of a ceiling fan to cool things off for the couple.  He has also replaced their boring window with a nice stained glass window. 

I think this photo is a great piece of creativity and told Vern he should be proud of his artwork. What do you think?
