By Grant Wood, better known for his iconic American Gothic. But I like this, painted in 1931:
All sensuous rolling hills and friendly trees. Not what I think of when I think of Iowa, but then I've never been to Iowa. It could be southern England - Devon maybe - if it wasn't for the farmhouse. But a kind of visionary Devon.
cf Henry Epwoth Allen

I had to look him up, but yes, absolutely, a striking similarity - http://goldenagepaintings.blogspot.com/2010/04/harry-epworth-allen.html
Born in Sheffield as well, like me, and I'd never heard of him. Oh dear.
