That says some terrible things about me, but gives me something to wish for this season. <BR/>Then, I noticed how happy the people were to have their soldier home from war.<BR/>I especially like the girl hiding behind the corner of the building. There's an entire story there.Weeping Sorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617503185773155102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-21612876496406794432008-12-21T16:09:00.000-05:002008-12-21T16:09:00.000-05:00Indeed an artist and a time to remember.Indeed an artist and a time to remember.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-12869673966887276352008-12-21T14:28:00.000-05:002008-12-21T14:28:00.000-05:00My parents subscribed to The Saturday Evening Post...My parents subscribed to The Saturday Evening Post for years and I loved the Rockwell covers that made me a fan of his for life!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing it with me!Kay Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646717192332313215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-20793060152036794702008-12-21T13:10:00.000-05:002008-12-21T13:10:00.000-05:00I loved Norman Rockwell, too.

Prior to visiting, I didn't consider myself much of a Rockwell fan. Perhaps because I took him for granted; his images being everywhere and also, I must admit, depicting an America world that I myself did not grow up with. <BR/><BR/>In any event, after my visit, I really appreciated him so much more! I especially liked some of the works that I was not familiar with: those that depicted social and political changes in America such as the civil rights movement.<BR/><BR/>I think that Rockwell is becoming more and more appreciated in general, as is the case for a lot of artists after they pass on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296223961815248113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-13398585146586456862008-12-21T08:11:00.000-05:002008-12-21T08:11:00.000-05:00Glad the wedding went well.
