I love reading the details about Rockwell’s paintings and details about his models.

I remember those days with such fond memories! Kids actually played together instead of texting and sitting on computers. We used to stay outdoors until dark playing tag, jump rope, baseball, touch football, exploring woods and taking a lunch with us, and any other activity that required that we be outdoors.

Indoors we would read the classics and look forward to an hour of tv as a treat.

I love all the Norman Rockwell paintings! I hadn’t seen the ones above.
Of course, I enjoy my Saturday Evening Post. I’m almost finished reading
the present issue.

I wonder if anyone knows if Norman Rockwell worked as a mentor/teacher to
a John Waters, an artist from Georgia and New York sometime in the ’40′s or ’50′s. I know of some paintings of Mr. Waters that have never been exposed to public view. I think they are good works.

I was privileed to visit the Rockwell studio when on a tour of New England states in their Autumn finery. I have a copy of a Rockwell book on my coffee table. How can he not be an American, no, International favorite?

I introduced my preschool children to Norman Rockwell back in the early 70′s. We would sometimes look at his drawings rather than read a familiar bedtime story. All three of them appreciated his art. Now I am emailing this page to my 11 year old granddaughter:) so she can enjoy Mr. Rockwells paintings too.
