A better writer than some writers :-) I agree ~ I don't find him sentimental, but rather specific and universal at the same time.<br /><br />Yes! Maxfield Parrish. For the life of me, I couldn't remember his name.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986544384594087203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191202267854919416.post-52987476080120589222010-08-21T21:59:11.752-06:002010-08-21T21:59:11.752-06:00Tamara,
You're exactly right about Rockwell&#...Tamara,<br /><br />You're exactly right about Rockwell's storytelling talents. In fact, he's a better "writer" than some writers I've read. I've always loved his sense of whimsy, too. His story-paintings aren't just splashes of sentimentality (as some may criticize him for), they're precise portraits of The Way We Live.<br /><br />And yes, an hour at the National Gallery of Art sitting in front of Bierstadt, Moran and Copley will fill me with enough inspiration for a dozen short stories and two or three poems.<br /><br />David<br /><br />P.S. The "M" artist you're thinking of is probably Maxfield Parrish.David Abramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013514596973186440noreply@blogger.com
