Young Artist by Norman Rockwell: Rain Slickers

From the Saturday Evening Post 2016 Calendar for February.

"Be My Valentine.  Fashion fads come and go, but young love lasts forever-- at least until the next downpour.  In the 1920s, rain slickers were all the rage.  Acutely aware of the need to stay current, Norman Rockwell tuned in to timely ideas saying, "I just keep my ear to the wind and, when I heard of a craze or fad ... I'd do a cover of it."

Young Artist appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post, June 4, 1927.
