Today I went to see "American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell" at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Va. Its a rich, wonderfully curated exhibit on Rockwell's artistic legacy. Its amazing to see how much research, detail and preparation went into each of his paintings. His large oil paintings are a treat to see. Rockwell makes the everyday scenes seem exotic. My favorite is the very powerful "Southern Justice."
Her Passion is my humble attempt to paint my dear Mother-in-law on one of her rounds in her small garden. Its done in watercolors and color pencils.
