happy birthday, norman rockwell!

Okay, I have missed on a lot of Google logos here before, but today’s logo is special. It’s Norman Rockwell’s birthday. Mr. Rockwell is one of my favorite artists. My Papa’s too. It was Papa who introduced Rockwell to me, and he had this large book with full-page pictures of his work, specifically his works for the cover of The Saturday Evening Post. I love how he handles the most minuscule of details, like wrinkles on the hands and creases on clothes. I love how he depicts realism and inserts humor into his paintings. *Now, I wonder where that Rockwell book went.*
