If you look around, you'll see ceramic figurines and stuff like that made from the painting. I actually have a container of coffee with that on the front.

I obtained much of the historical details on this painting a few years ago from them. I have also met both Ed and Dick and have several autographed prints. In case anyone is wondering, the painting was done at his studio, not a real diner. The seats are from the HoJo's in/around Lee; the backwall from somewhere else. It was not Joe's Diner in lee as some folks like to claim. I have seen the sketches and talked to the models.

That rendering has long been a part of my residence, along with a small, desk top figurine of the image. My wife (a Chicopee girl) and I have visited the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge on a number of occassions. In fact, here is a photo of us at the museum It is a great place to visit and take in the original artwork of such a great American painter. |
