From the painting’s description on the Art Institute of Chicago web page:
“Yet Wood intended it to be a positive statement about rural American values, an image of reassurance at a time of great dislocation and disillusionment. The man and woman, in their solid and well-crafted world, with all their strengths and weaknesses, represent survivors.”
So far, I like Sen. Grassley - just wish he were more assertive about MAGA and, maybe he's just playing the hand he's been dealt. However, this gesture (picture and invitation) further influences me to love and support him. I just hope I'm working with something besides emotion. And I just can't help but love Iowa. God BLESS the beautiful and lovably 'corny' (pun intended) state of Iowa and all of her awesome people!
