American Gothic-a family ATC

This one is for my son-in-law for Christmas.

Most of my kids and their families live in Oklahoma. My 3 youngest are committed to farm life and have purchased 120 acres where they intend to build family homes for themselves and for my husband and me, also! My son in law is especially motivated to put this all together.

This is a fun representation of him and my daughter, somewhat customized. She’s a little taller than him and has long brown hair and brown eyes. He wears a ball cap so often that they had been together almost a year before I even realized what color his hair is! (It’s brown in case you wondered.) The hat he’s wearing features the logo for his company (no real details of course but he’ll get the point). There’s no way he’d wear overalls, like the man in the original American Gothic, unless the only alternative was to go naked. So he’s wearing waders. There’s a big pond full of bass on the land, and he sometimes uses the waders when fishing.
