Our study of Norman Rockwell's art as an in-class project was my first glimpse at his work, and I was intrigued by it. While I was intrigued by the selections, the girl looking in the mirror was my favorite because I think most of the female population can relate to doing that at some point in her life. This is my second night of attempting to find out who the girl is in the piece, and to my dismay, I have not found an answer. Maybe she is just a girl who posed for the painting and captured the moment just so.
I did find an interesting blog that posted three great Rockwell pieces, including the girl in the mirror. In the "comments" section, someone commented because his/her friend was friends with Norman Rockwell. This person shared an anecdote:
"[O]ne day Norman painted the number '100%' in bright gold at the top of his easel. When asked why he did that, he replied 'That's what Norman expects of Norman.' Good philosophy to live by."
I agree!
