I’ve enjoyed Rockwell’s art ever since my art classes in high school when we studied masters like him. It’s amazing to me what he did with a staged Black & White photo. The coloring and slight adjustments to make the scene stand out show his genius. If you’d like to see more examples GO HERE.

Dave, I used to work in an art gallery that featured Rockwell originals. Sometimes we would have three or four in at a time, and I aways felt incredibly lucky to be able to see SO MANY of these amazing original oil paintings side by side, in one place. As you can tell, I'm a fan, too!!
