'Cowboy Revival'
Hot dog. My print of this, "Cowboy Revival," by Martin Grelle, a last-minute Christmassy present from Dr. ER, came! Signed by the arteeste, even. :-)

In my first marriage, we had a painting by Julian Onderdonk of a bluebonnet valley at dawn above our bed. And she wasn't from Texas.
Dadgum, Lobo, it's always unzipped.
I think I like this image so much because I honestly looked at it for quite a while trying to figure out what it was a scene of. I've seen plenty of scenes of tent revivals, but had never seen nor thought of one just like this, with 'boys on horseback. I like. They're staying and listening, it looks like, but on their own terms, and are ready to ride away immediately if the bullshit gets up to their stirrups. Or before.

Ain't it? Mebbe by the time we have y'all over next time -- meant to oveer the holidays -- it'll be framed and up.
