I'm just going to post here on the Blogger site on Wednesdays and not update my main project site with the new post because that other program is pretty cumbersome and takes a lot more time-- which I don't usually have during the week.<BR/><BR/>Carrie- thanks so much for checking that site for Van Nortwick-- I wasn't aware of it. Amazing, he was even FROM Rhode Island where the museum is located, and there's STILL nothing about him there. It makes you wonder how many good artists were out there and received no recognition.<BR/><BR/>--JennJenn Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-1526138876161598272008-01-27T15:59:00.000-08:002008-01-27T15:59:00.000-08:00I found this post very informative.Since they hav...I found this post very informative.<BR/>Since they have such a large collection of american illustrators, I checked the web site for the National Museum of American Illustration (Newport, RI) but they also have nothing on van Nortwick. It's sad because his art is quite beautiful.<BR/>CarrieCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008155356923332277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-28401525044546973672008-01-27T15:22:00.000-08:002008-01-27T15:22:00.000-08:00Hi Jenn,I loved learning about CK Van Nortwick tod...Hi Jenn,<BR/>I loved learning about CK Van Nortwick today. I did not know about him. The illustrations were so good, I'm surprised we don't know more about the guy.<BR/>I always love looking at old watercolor illustrations.<BR/>Hope you are having a great Sunday.<BR/>I am off to look at your Wednesday post. I didn't realize you posted on Wed. I guess I have been a bit busy.<BR/>RosemaryRosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901666326985976038noreply@blogger.com
