洛克威尔作品中的孩童,常是附近学校的学生,或是镇士的居民。尽管这些毫无经验的模特儿,总是坐不住,身子常常不由自主地乱动,但是这些人,甚至自己的小狗所流露的真挚情感,不加遮掩的表情,正是洛克威尔所梦寐以求的。他曾经说:“对我而言,美国人生活中的日常琐事,都是艺术性丰富的题材。男孩子在空地上扑打苍蝇,女孩在房前台阶上玩牌,老人在黄昏里漫步回家,这些景象都能撩起我的情感。” Children in Rockwell’s work are often students from nearby schools or residents of townspeople. Although these inexperienced models are always unable to sit still, the body often involuntarily twitches, but these people, and even their own puppies revealed by the sincere emotion, unobtrusive expression, it is Rockwell dream of. He once said: “For me, the daily chores in American life are all art rich subjects: boys flutter flies in open spaces, girls play cards on the front steps and strolls home in the twilight , These scenes can lift my feelings. ”
