Not really Rockwell, I don't think; his work is more lifelike and less cartoony

I agree. But it reminds me of a style of American painting.

If you scroll over the fence, you'll see it's the 176th birthday of Samuel Clemmes (aka Mark Twain)... probably just a quick, thrown together artist rendering for the occasion...
In fact, if you "click" on the fence it takes you to some links, one of which talks about Google's "Doodle" used to construct the faux-painting... described here:
The homepage Doodle is a panoramic triptych featuring the boyhood Missouri pals from two of Twain's best-loved books: 1876's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and arguably the greatest American novel, 1885's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." The Doodle's folksy style can be read as a nod to original Twain illustrator True Williams."

Ooops! Samuel Clemens (obviously)
