Norman Rockwell

little_boy_writing_a_letterRecently I reviewed the book Boy’s Life by Robert McCammon – while I was doing the review I stumbled upon the art of  Norman Rockwell .  I was to choose illustrations for my the review of the  book  – I could hardly thing of anything more suitable that his drawings.

Norman Rockwell was  a 20th century American painter and illustrator  .His early works were produced for St. Nicholas Magazine, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) publication Boys’ Life and other juvenile publications.

The illustrations of Rockwell are easy to recognize – his sentimental view of the world is what attracted me to his art. Plus he lived and worked in New England – a favorite region of mine in the US ( the only one I have been in anyway ). I hope that you would enjoy his art as much as I do.
