Today I have a million things to do....so of course I'm procrastinating and I have decided to share with you one of my passions. Art. Not just any art. Art from one of my favorite artist ever...Norman Rockwell. We were fortunate to go to The Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass three times. and every time I saw something new and interesting. They say that he painted America the way he wanted to see it. I don't know what it is about his paintings...is it the fact that they tell a different story every time you look at them? or is it because he was such a detailed artist that it takes your breath away to view them? Gives me a sort of lump in my throat to see the heart felt love and dedication that he had for his art. Here are a few examples of the work of my Most awesome Favorite artist. The first one above is truly amazing. He is painting himself painting himself using a mirror! genius.

Just look at the way the boy is standing. Doesn't that remind you of every gawky teen kid? Even the socks are falling down on this poor skinny guy; and take a look at those feet! He truly captured that age when we would rather be anyone but ourselves.

This one tells several stories. There's the truck driver that just wants to finish his route. If you look on the left there is an artist that is excited about the scene and wants to paint it. Upper right there is a woman beside herself with fear...perhaps its her dog? and then there's the poor pup wondering what all the fuss is about. Hope you enjoyed the art. Blessings, Joanne
he had the best pictures
ReplyDeleteI love his work also. Many years ago, my husband gave me a book that was a compilation of all of his work. It is one of those 'coffee table' books. It is one of my most prized possessions.
