As the world celebrates the 40th anniversary of the first man on the moon — local artist Norm Jackson is also celebrating an anniversary.
It’s the 40th anniversary of his painting “In This Decade” — a painting of President John F Kennedy looking down at Neil Armstrong taking his historical step onto the moon’s surface.
Jackson gained attention on both sides of the border when he presented the painting to Armstrong.
The original of the painting now hangs in the Neil Armstrong museum while a print hangs in the John F Kennedy library in Boston.
