I know he is holding a lantern, but if you look at it just right it also looks like a light hanging from the ceiling, and he’s holding a margarita; which to me makes this painting much more interesting.

It honestly took me a while to realize he was not holding a martini. We have martini glasses that look just like that.
Hahaha. Yes I see it lol
with a LIGHT
Yeah sure it's really the light that stands out. HE HAS A GUN MR. ROCKWELL!!!
Back then, it was just assumed that everyone would be holding a gun. Everybody in every Norman Rockwell painting has a gun. If you don't see it, it's just because it's behind their body. /s
agent michael scarn, this is a wendy's restaurant
Wonderful artist, altho I find his stuff so "telegraphed" at times that it self-sabotages.
Pieces like this are exceptionally cool to me because they dispense with that 'borderline-propaganda' Americana angle to get right to the spirit of the piece, so to speak. This is just great...
Yeah, theres quite a few artists who are famous for the worst art they made yet have a lot of great stuff
Wow... I guess you may be right. oO
Gramps really needs to work on the trigger discipline.
Actual title is "Old Man On Stairway"
Old Man About To Bust A Cap
”Whatcha got there?”
”A light.”

There is a meme in here
Agreed
Grandpa Joe going out to "buy" some Wonka bars.
Looks like he is holding his cocktail up to the light to check it.
That's what the ghost sees when it's made too much noise and attracts attention
