a student studying painter Frans Hals' technique in a portrait of a Dutch housewife. In that study, a Dutch landscape on an adjacent wall places the student in a gallery of Dutch artwork. But a recurring Rockwell theme - of reality and fantasy exchanging placesm - seems to have taken over and the painting changed course.
With typical humor, Rockwell replaces the homely woman with one more alluring - based on a Peter Paul Rubens' portrait of his wife. The Dutch landscape became a group of Dutch cavaliers, brought to life by animated facial expressions. They are wary and concerned. Is the student getting too close to the painting? Is he being too personal with their gallery colleague? The scene's movement from reality to fantasy refutes the view that Rockwell's work is only photographic.
Odds & Ends: On the student's palette, three-dimensional dollops of paint remind us that we too are standing in a gallery looking at a painting.

Cabbage's Sweet Side
By ELAINE LOUIE
Cabbage is often an unloved, homely vegetable. But those who can get past their initial aversion know it as one of winter's quiet overachievers.
