Time travelers stashed their loot and took off for the Norman Rockwell Museum today, where an accomplished young artist “captured” seafarer Bob Chandler in this amazing pencil portrait. A member of Free Men of the Sea, Pirate Bob was joined by Neal Kirk, Donna Kirk, and Allyson Chandler in celebration of Howard Pyle: American Master Rediscovered and the spirit of adventure that his art personified. The music of Ampersand delighted visitors on the Museum terrace, and a Civil War encampment on our front lawn brought Pyle’s art to life in vivid color. Please check out our calendar of events for more exciting summer programs – we hope to see you soon!
