Are there any Norman Rockwell fans out there? Show us some of your favorites by him.  Here are a few of mine...

I have 2 favorites.  One of them is "Triple Self Portrait".  The other was a cover he did for the Phone Book.  It was similar to his drawing "Gossip", but featured people talking over telephones of different ages.  I remember it started with people talking on the old wall-box units, then going to candlestick style, finally ending with somebody talking on a video-phone.  This was done shortly before he died.  I have been unable to find a copy of that though.

I am a big Norman Rockwell fan.  Some wonderful examples from his large body of work, and a lot of my favorites are shown here.  One of my favorites is "The Runaway" also being the one entitled "A Time for Greatness" featuring JFK.  There is also he beautiful little black girl, all dressed in white, ribbon in her hair carryhing her schoolbooks, surrounded by U.S. Marshalls on her way to school.  This one's title escapes me, but it never fails to move me, this spotless innocent protected against the ugliness.
