Rockwell

A few months ago I took an opportunity to see the latest Norman Rockwell exhibit at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Va.  Amazing doesn’t cover how extraordinary it was.   The last time I went to see Rockwell’s work was with my Grandfather, (who was also an artist), Grandmother and Father.  That was a couple of decades ago now.  The earlier show only exhibited small works.  I had no idea just how large he worked until this recent visit.  I am still pouring over the books on his life and work.  Tonight’s drawing is my ode to his self portrait of him painting his self portrait.
