Norman Rockwell was well known for capturing the humanity of his subjects. People were his primary subject, and he was very good at it. However, he did have occasional paintings that did not include people. Spring Flowers was one of these. It included a small robin next to some flowers on the floor in a small shack. There were also other paintings that usually reflected simple life subjects, such a quilt over the back of a wooden chair.
