Acrylic on mahogany panel, 24 by 20 inches
Homage to:
Norman Rockwell (1894-1978)
“Saying Grace,” cover for The Saturday Evening Post (November 24, 1951)
“My most recent painting pays homage to Norman Rockwell, whose profound and compelling work often transcended mere illustration and spoke directly to the heart of America in a century of unprecedented social change. Contrasting old, deeply held values with the heedless insistence of modernity, his work still speaks to us today in a timeless language all can understand.” — Jenness Cortez
