Description
“A View From the Heartland,” might suggest farmsteads, rolling fields of wheat or corn, lazy rivers and myriad other possibilities. That would be a view from the outside of a fantasy world where, “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.”
My painting of a joyful, happily-married couple, another heartland, portrays my vision of a view from the inside looking out. The frightening world of smiling aliens in a hellish landscape conservative and ultra-conservative middle America sees when it looks outside itself. Yet the couple and conservative Americans live in a real, flesh-and-blood reality between these two extremes.
Even if the couple were truly alien and their landscape otherworldly, their joy, love and radiant smiles create a joyful noise that will one day change the world.
