ReplyDeleteShaw was a very wise man. Though I understand he was also a bit of a 'know it all.' Ha!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Martha. :)
"The Gossips" is one of my favorite Rockwells - I have a print of it hanging on my wall at home.
ReplyDeleteLes: It's brilliant! So difficult to do this kind of thing. I love Rockwell. PLUS it's very funny. :)
