Norman Rockwell

Mornin'!!! Hope everyone is doing well today!! I had a great time with my mom yesterday in Brevard, NC. It's such a cute little town with lots of shops and restaurants. Yesterday was the National Day of Prayer so we stopped in the center of town to say a little prayer with a big group of people. That was nice! Then we had lunch and walked through some shops including a huge antique mart. It had 3 stories and I had the time of my life looking at every single thing in there!! I think what I liked seeing the most was all of the Norman Rockwell magazines or books or paintings. I absolutely love Norman Rockwell's work. I thought I would share some of my favorites with ya'll today.




"Sport" I love this one and I want to get it framed for my husband. He loves fishing and I think this is so cute!







"Check-up"







"Airplane Ride"







"Marriage License"







"Going, Coming"







"Shiner"







"Begging"



Do ya'll have a favorite Norman Rockwell picture??

  2. "A Day in the Life of a Girl" is my absolute favorite. I have it hanging in our guest room. But I seriously love them all!

  3. I haven't thought about Norman Rockwell in a long time, so thanks for the post! I remember sitting in my uncle's country cafe when I was a kid and admiring all of Norman's paintings on the wall. They are great.

    Have a great weekend!

  6. I can't say I have a favourite because I love them all! They are timeless classics! When I was a child, our family doctor had a series of them all over his office and when I see any Norman Rockwell, I am instantly transported back to my youth, a little girl waiting in his office!

  7. I love all of the paintings, I couldn't pick just one over the others. It sounds as though you had a lovely day with your Mom.
