Rockwell knew in his mind what he wanted from the pose and was very
animated in manipulating my limbs to achieve the exact desired pose.
This is the same photograph as above but it gives you a
better look at his studio. The first studio that I posed in was on Main Street in Stockbridge, MA over the grocery store. Later he converted a run-down old barn behind his house into
a beautiful studio which has since been moved to the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge for all to see and enjoy.
People often ask me how it was possible to hold
a pose like this for such a long time. Luckily for me he usually had a photographer shoot the pose and he created his paintings from the photographs. As you can see, this was not one
of those times and I remember my arm getting very tired.
