HT to Ruth. I don’t know who the artist is. Anyone…?

There’s just something about seeing a man praying that gives me warm fuzzies. True manly men!!!

Mrs. Hammond! I love this picture. Where did you find it?

It was posted to a Yahoo Group that I belong to. A fuller pic is available for sale here as a digital download for only $5.90! http://www.restoredtraditions.com/cowboy_praying_the_rosary.aspx

This image of the Cowboy (I believe) was originally painted by a fellow named Don Smith. It was painted in the mid 20th century for the cover of Extension magazine, a Catholic publication. I’m not sure if the image was commissioned by Extension or if they just used it. Regardless of the sketchy details of this painting, it’s truly a beauty, and I wish there were more like it. Hope this helps! Please anyone out there correct me if I’m wrong.
Merry Christmas ;)

Thanks, Patrick! Living here in Texas, the pic has special meaning for me. :-)
