American Painters Day 2022
 |
I once fancied myself a painter and even dabbled in oils.
While my efforts were totally without merit; they did inspire me to go the sketch route and I still sketch to this day.
The world has a great many painters who have made their marks with particular distinction in the field and for which massive amounts of fundage are paid for examples of their work.
Alas, this will never be me.
However, American Painters Day honors all Americans who paint.
Insasmuch as the day is held on the birthday of Norman Rockwell a lot of emphasis is placed upon him this day.
He was born in New York City on today's date in 1894.
He is a truly excellent example of one who understood application of paint on canvas.
A virtuoso of that ubiquitous medium called oils.
