I love his works. I use to go to my Grandmothers and pull out stacks of the SEP just to look at the cover art.One room in the museum played a short film about Rockwell and displayed all the covers he had done for the Saturday Evening Post (3 walls full!). It was pretty neat to see the changes over the years.

You can't help but smile at his pictures, and seeing them up close like that gave me a new appreciation to the amount of detail he put in, and just the little extras that really set the mood he was trying to convey.

did you get anything in the gift shop?Our next stop was his studio. The walkway out there was lined with whimsical works of art with the theme of carriages. I believe they were done by local artisans: Here's a few:
The studio itself was pretty neat, although pretty small inside.

Did you also visit the Red Lion Inn while out there? It's very pleasant inside, and they have a lovely restaurant. Had lunch there once, while in the area, visiting the museum.
I also loved Rockwell's artwork. His paintings were captivating. It was also surprising to me that his work covered many topics, from the familiar multi-generational family gathered around the Thanksgiving Day table, to the civil rights movement. And I also appreciated his "slice of life" paintings such as the one below titled, "The Lineman" as just one example here.

We went by the Red Lion but didn't stop there. We had had lunch (Peach & walnut Belgian waffles) at one of our old favorite local places up in Williamstown, so we were still pretty stuffed from that. It's on my list for next time though. That whole area is just so neat!
I'm old enough to remember when some of Rockwell's paintings came out, particularly the ones during the Civil Rights movement. I was probably too young to comprehend all that was happening then, but those paintings, especially the one I posted here, really moved me.

Of course it is. It's the good stuff.That's the same stuff I buy.
Be warned though, if you finger-lick the container, you may bleed. The edges are very sharp.
Doesn't stop me of course; but it may stop other, smarter, more refined people. Or not.
