laughingacademy: heroineimages: hellpopgroove: “Shiner” (1953) by Norman Rockwell “My recollection of working out this picture with Norman is one of laughter and fun. He showed me the sketch and wondered what I thought about it. I got it. It was about role reversal. For once the little girl was victorious, and it did not matter that she had a black eye. That was the mark of the trophy!” - Mary Whalen Leonard on Posing for ‘Shiner’ I grew up in a house with several books of Rockwell’s art, and my grandmother had several others, but I don’t recall having ever seen this particular portrait. I like her already! Our Lady of Not Sorry -- source link
