Patrice Drago: February brings love, art and chocolate, of course

American Painters Day, Feb. 3, highlights some of the great American painters of the past and today, and movements they’ve inspired. Norman Rockwell is the most celebrated on this day, but the timeline goes back to who many believe is the first American fine art painter, Benjamin West, best known for his painting “The Death of General Wolfe” in 1770.
