Thank you for the you tube clip. I'm just reading The Unknown Rockwell that was release by James Buddy Edgerton & Nan O' Brien, and I just love it. It is a great read about Rockwell life in Arlington next to the Edgerton's. I recommend it to anyone that loves to read about a place in time that simple ways of life were in fashion and neighbors were like family.
Seeing and studying his paintings as a child, convinced me that art was what I wanted to do. The best lesson learned, was to tell the whole story in just one picture. I teach art every now and then and I always relate Norman's work ethic to my students. I do not think any other artist's work impresses me more than Norman's does. The art teacher I had in High School, dismissed Rockwell's work as being rated as fine art and exclaimed that Rockwell was merely an illustrator not a true artist as such. Another art teacher I met recently, stated that Norman Rockwell's artwork was "too corny, too busy and not painterly enough to be taken seriously as great art".. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I guess.... that doesn't always make them right, of course. Norman Rockwell will forever be my art hero.

Genial Rockwel
My great-grandfather, Alva Roberson, was one of the two men in his well-known "Old Timers" series.
