Norman Rockwell

I love the work of Norman Rockwell!
It recalls to mind memories,
When the times were more sublime.
Stories written with paint,
I can understand!
His work will live
Forever.
Thank you,
Norm!

I love the line " stories written with paint"...:He entertained a whole generation ( or two or three)of folks. Good one Mr Bob and hope you have a lovely holiday. Barbara

I love Norman Rockwell's art, too. Thanks for remembering him. As a child I always looked forward to his illustrations on Post Magazine.
