A couple of weeks ago we saw a wonderful Norman Rockwell book in the St. Lawrence antique market. Since it was 200 dollars, we just had a real good look through it, and I discovered that I like Rockwell a lot more than I thought. Good thing we didn't buy, cause today at the Saturday auction at Goodwill we managed to buy two almost as wonderful Rockwell books for 27 dollars! The auction alone was already great and exciting fun. People from all walks of life bidding, commenting and connecting in strange ways. A much more social event than just plain shopping. I'm really happy with the Rockwell books, I like Norm best when he is completely over the top. And it's interesting to discover the regularities or patterns in his compositions, or maybe even tricks. Very shrewd things these Rockwell paintings.
