His parents, of mostly Dutch ancestry, were Garret Henry Hopper, a dry-goods merchant, and his wife Elizabeth Griffiths Smith.
 * He liked painting common American life in his paintings such as gas stations, motels, restaurants, theaters, railroads, and street scenes.
 * I chose this picture because it looked like a fun picture to edit and put myself in and it shows life during the industrialization era of America. I took a photo of myself in the position to look like I'm holding a gas pump. I just really used magnetic lasso.
