Have a Norman Rockwell Day Imagine you to make a living painting a day of Thanksgiving, bringing to life in colored content how Americana lives are spent. Look again into these treasured lives on which time was measured see how the painter exposed their souls, from very young, to very old. What made Rockwell’s gift worth while? This knack to make his subjects smile, a grin, a cheer, a laugh, no sneers, within their hearts you saw no fear. So look ‘round your laden table today, as you are granted the freedom to pray; give blessed thanks that you can say, “Lord, let this be a Norman Rockwell Day.” ©KRJ 25 November 1999 revised 22 November 2001 |

Bravo! Oh, this is just wonderful Karilea! He is my favorite artist for all these reasons and more, and I've so often commented on a situation or moment as "being a Norman Rockwell moment". Oh, I just loved this! Beautifully woven, and a wonderful reminder to all on this lovely Thanksgiving! Best wishes and Happy Thanksgiving to you! /Kit |

Rockwell's ability to capture human expression on faces and to capture body language so true to life it jumps off the canvas, is unsurpassed!! His artwork is truly a gift..... Americana at its finest! A wonderful tribute here, Karilea, and a such beautiful thoughts for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!!! |
