(As well, I think Ms. Palin would ban this piece of art.)
BTW, I haven’t had a chance to compliment you on your work, lately. I’ve noticed you have developed quite a following. I , for one, think there’s a solo exhibition in your future.
Thanks, Sophmom. My gallery reports the phone is ringing off the hook (which shows you how out-of-touch my gallery is).
Sharp-eyed readers may notice I quickly changed the attribution from John Stuart Curry to Thomas Hart Benton (the original is in Kansas City). Those triple-barreled art guys always got me confused.
I also thought the title was Susanna with the Elders. What can I say, “I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear my trousers rolled…”.
Given the state of the US economy and what I observe out here in our rancher/orchardist/blue collar/service industry last-resort jobs clime, I feel the artists from the depression era ring a bell.

Dick,
Her ‘cover-up’ is slipping.

And remember, McCain is young compared to me!

Ooops. I hadn’t noticed I’d used Rechtal’s address box. I hope he will forgive me.

Dear Sir,
Whatever your age may be, your attitude, and your sense of humor, are fresh and lively!
So, given your tribute to Mr. Wood’s “American Gothic”, and now T.H. Benton, am I to understand that you are partial to the Regionalists?

I am exploring post office murals!

If we would use the work of George Grosz, then without the necessity of trying to improve it we could express our full misanthropy.

You should forward your work to the Williams Art Mafia. Perhaps they could help you find a gallery. Proceeds go to the Obama campaign.
I look forward to the next piece in your portfolio.

A stunning Persephone.
She has your attention.
A capital idea whose time has come.
A ‘chick’ in every pot.
