Happy Birthday Norman Rockwell



Don't sleep. Rockwell did some stuff that was incredible and, knowing his other work, unexpected. He was technically extremely talented and had a conscience as well. I even like the paintings that represented a super sanitized Middle America. I wouldn't hang them in my house, but they appeal to my desire for a real feeling of home, community and family. If he were alive he would have been 116 years old today. Whew! It could happen!
