This is a great piece. (And damn, that principal is smoking hot.)

The light reflection on the worn asbestos tiles just wake some ancient feelings in me. I can smell this hallway in my mind.
I thought this was one of the "lost" Norman Rockwell paintings - like the infamous "Turn your head and cough".
That grin says you should see the other guy
Yeah. You can tell she WON that fight. :)
This is tremendously enjoyable
Know what I love about Rockwell? The hands. Artists always talk about how hard it is to draw hands. Rockwell, that dude could draw hands, and he knew it. He drew hands in this picture, through the doorway, when there was absolutely no need to, because he could. And if you look at a bunch of his pictures, he doesn't just draw hands, he draws hands doing complicated things, making complex gestures, gripping fiddly little objects, he draws old people with wrinkled skin and funky joints on their hands... he was goddamn good at drawing hands and he was not shy about showing off his hand-drawing talent.
People calling him an illustrator and not an artist are just jealous of his hands.

I don't call people artists because I have no reason to insult them.
Wow, uh, good one.
I think it's pretty well accepted that, even for a classically trained artist, the three most difficult things to paint accurately are human hands, a horse in motion, and the concept of epistemology.
That and dignity …
NGL, you had me in the first part
me I just paint the philosophy of science of entelechy like a fuckin moron
I think Barnett Newman nailed the concept of epistemology
There’s a former tough guy on his way to the hospital right now that severely underestimated that girl.
I respect his contributions to the game and I know this is a thermonuclear take but I fuckin hate Norman Rockwell’s art. The art style. The subjects he painted. Their facial expressions. The soup. Just not at all a fan of his whole deal.
No shade at OP for sharing this, though 🙏
It would cost you nothing to walk away and keep it yourself. There are plenty that think it's brilliant. Nevermind extremely difficult to be this good at illustration.
It also cost me nothing to share my subjective opinion of an artist’s work in a respectful way, in a forum conveniently designed for discussion of this exact artist.
It also cost me nothing to give a shit about a crap take that doesn't like good skill.
I apologize for upsetting you, I didn’t mean anything personally insulting to you. Hope you have a good day 🙏
respectful
i fucking hate
I don't disagree that anyone should be able to voice their opinions here, even if it is to express distaste. But let's not pretend you were doing that respectfully.
Sure, yeah, I can agree with that.
I think adults can and should disagree on things and feel free to voice opinions - especially if done as civilly as this. Not "this sucks" but just "it's not too my taste".
