Figure Eight

It's heart warming to see Grandpa feeling like he's 15 again as his grandson looks on with amazement in this 1948 painting from Rockwell's   "Grandpa and Me" series.
 Norman Rockwell was a 20th-century American painter and illustrator. His works enjoy a broad popular appeal in the United States for their reflection of American culture. Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life scenarios he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine for more than four decades

    I agree. His paintings always seemed to hit the nail on the head.
    By the Way Shelly, that was a great post you had on your Blog about the real heros at the Spurs game.
    I always enjoy reading your wonderful Blog. ;-)

    I remember as a child my parents buying Saturday Evening Post and the paintings of Rockwell. I loved them then and now.
