Norman Rockwell Christmas Open Thread


             It was hard to pick one. He painted so many Christmas scenes. Some are very carefully posed realistic illustrations of what an American Christmas might look like a few decades ago.
            Some look like magazine projects.
            I liked this one because it has elements of fantasy, but is painted in Rockwell's best style.
            I love the elves. And the old guy himself is 100% believable!
🤍🎅🏻🤍

Happy Last Saturday Before Christmas!




Wheeee!
