I found a print of this one at the thrift store.
It has a hard wood frame and I got it for only $5.00!

BTW, I must admit this is my all-time favorite Rockwell work

This week's featured artist is one of my favorites, Norman Rockwell. I have chosen some of his most famous works. They are also the ones who represent our America, good and bad. As you may know, most of Mr. Rockwell's works were done for the Saturday Evening Post, a magazine still in existence today.

If you plan to be in the area, make sure to plan your visit around the Norman Rockwell Museum

He is one of my favorite artists, too. He is SO VERY GOOD at capturing human emotion in a moment.

Thanks for sharing!
