This evening, I went to see Telling Stories: Norman Rockwell from the Collections of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, at the Smithsonian American Museum of Art. It was a great exhibit. I enjoyed seeing the charcoal versions of some of the paintings next to the final paintings. Some of the drawings were completed years before they were in final format. There were some of my old favorites, and many that I had never seen before. I really liked the one called, "Jo Seated on the Old Sofa." It's a picture of Jo March from Little Women.
If you are in DC and have a chance to see it before January 2, 2011, I recommend stopping by the museum. Or wait until the exhibit visits a city near you.
