Dinner For Threshers and all things Grant Wood

  

     If you are looking for the “Dinner For Thresher’s” print as of this posting, we still have one for sale. Leave a comment and I will get back to you.

   In 2006 we opened a Bed and Breakfast, using the regional art of Grant Wood as our theme.  We purchased 5 prints and had them professionally framed @ $175 to $250 a pop.   Grant Wood was a prolific painter, and  there were at least five or six more I really wanted to display.   It was at this point , I thought to myself,  if I were to learn how to frame pictures myself,  that skill would quickly pay for itself, so we  invested in a Simplix 750 matt cutter and have been framing pictures ever since.

      Here is a copy of Grant Wood’s  “Dinner For Threshers“   hanging in our kitchen:

    I don’t even want to tell you how much we had to pay for that one.

      Here is an unframed copy of that picture I would be glad to sell you for a small fee.  

      The image itself is about  35 inches long.

      

      

Here are some close up shots:

 

 

     One of the things I love about Grant Wood’s style of painting   is the fact he will include little humorous details you will miss if you’re in a hurry.

        Check out what the man in the middle of the table is sitting on. 

        Look @ the man on the far right.  Notice anything peculiar about his head?

        Any other details of this picture that you find interesting?

    Here is my favorite Grant Wood print:  Spring In The Country:

Notice the apple blossoms in the front left corner.   I have it on the wall right above my computer where I blog

 …it’s yours for just $30.00 plus P and H…just in time for Christmas if you move fast.

     Do you have a favorite artist or style of art?  Who is it, and why do you like them?
