Title: Literature inspired Painting at School
Post by: MikeF9 on November 26, 2011, 04:12:44 PM

This painting is hung downstairs in the high school end. One person is real, the others are characters from literature. Can you name them all?

Looks like Hester Prynne with the scarlet letter in the middle.

Very good. All that remains is the pig-tailed girl leading Tom Sawyer. Who is she?

You got it!

I will notice people looking at the painting and trying to figure out who they are. Amazing how many people do not get the ham laying on the ground(Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird).
