Being an American perfumer, I felt less conventional constraints to creativity. Although we study the same classic fine fragrances, our market is so diverse that it allows for a broad range of tastes that stray far from the classics.
Outdoor herb gardens are my favorite type of garden. There is something really satisfying about plants that do it all - they are pretty, fragrant, tasty and even medicinal! Here are some creative outdoor herb gardens and herb garden planter projects to make you an herb convert!

I've always loved Kent's wonderful - bold, mystical, brooding, perverse - black and white book illustrations, but I was surprised recently to discover - rediscover? - his remarkable paintings... my god, the color! Printmaker, illustrator, writer, adventurer - radical, philanderer - apparently he considered himself first and foremost a painter. I think these paintings corroborate that designation brilliantly.

"Who am I? I am America as deep and warm, great and tall, as Norman Rockwell painted me..." So starts the book, NORMAN ROCKWELL'S AMERICANA ABC, with text by George Mendoza. I am lucky enough to have a copy of this beautiful book and I hope it will someday be brought back into print. Norman Rockwell, who was born on February 3, 1894, wasn't known for being a children's book illustrator, but he definitely drew for children - his first job (when still in his teens!) was as art director for BOY'S LIFE, the official publication of the Boy Scouts of America. Incidentally, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BOY SCOUTS, founded on this day, February 8, 1910. Rockwell is probably best remembered for his paintings on the covers of THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. His first cover appeared in 1916, when he was just 22 years old. Over the next 47 years, an additional 321 Rockwell paintings would appear on the cover of this popular American periodical. He recruited family, friends, and neighbors as his models! The nostalgic documentary below contains interviews from some of his neighbors who modeled, as they look back on how he set up the scenes for the photographs he painted from. (It includes an interview with the woman who as a girl, was the model for the "Girl at the Mirror" painting, that I've shown below).

And New York, too often, has looked across the sea toward Europe. And all of us who turn our eyes away from what we have are missing life." -Norman Rockwell
