Caricature portrait studio sessions in progress at #nvcaf2018. Should be interesting to see what they come up with #caricature #Veterans #arts4vets #veteranartists #nvcaf (at Des Moines Marriott Downtown) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpvRGFNjhzT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rz7n9q0ybkz7

This afternoon the #nvcaf2018 artists did a wine and paint style acrylic workshop focusing on Grant Woods’ “American Gothic” painting from 1930. Since this painting is one of the most parodied paintings we were encouraged to stylize or parody it, so I decided to mash up Magritte with Woods. Enjoying having fun with art. #americangothic #magritte #parodyart #veteranartist #nvcaf (at Des Moines Marriott Downtown) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpu-SV2jtfW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wozppdmy5xsf
