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.
