I was privileged to see the Rockwell exhibit when it toured to Atlanta. Nothing like seeing the originals . . .

Lots of his easel work included. Great stuff. You can see how he softened the force of his work for the S.E. Post covers . . .

If you ever get up to the Berkshires, do stop by the Rockwell Museum in West Stockbridge - it's on an old estate, with acres of rolling fields/woods - and besides the museum building, they moved his studio (he called it "the cottage"( from the grounds behind his house in Stockbridge - intact.

It is strange to see it there - brings back memories...his easel, brushes, everything like he had them

Worth the trip...
