| Verizon to donate $2 million Norman Rockwell painting »
Verizon Communications will donate an original Norman Rockwell painting, "The Lineman," to the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass. The oil-on-canvas painting was created by Rockwell in 1948 for an advertisement for New England Telephone, a predecessor company of Verizon. Rockwell used a telephone employee at work in Cheshire, Mass. as the model, Verizon said. The work was recently appraised at more than $2 million, Verizon said. The phone company and the museum are holding a ceremony to mark the donation on Wednesday at the museum. For more local breaking business news, visit the Biz Blog at projo.com/business.
