While I don't begrudge him his amazing success... I feel sorry for Leyendecker, an artist who gets lost in fanfare over Rockwell. <BR/><BR/>The difference in their art is obvious... Rockwell is muddier, Leyendecker is more graceful. Both brilliant artists. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see what favorites you share. :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>~S :)Shephardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07318615370914088651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-50164830707609807732007-10-24T20:15:00.000-04:002007-10-24T20:15:00.000-04:00A perfect picture for that story.
