I revere Norman Rockwell. Everyone rightfully honors him for his wonderful images of patriotism and American life. But, insofar as artistic technique is concerned, I think he rates with the Masters. His figures are both iconic and authentic, people not so much larger than life, but filled so much with life that we accept them into our own lives. Like photographs of the spirit of America. It is how we know that God gives us gifts of artistry.
