cowboy fiddler


I love this scene, which I have tweaked a bit, out of The Book of Cowboys by Holling C. Holling, published in 1936. Old books have the most fascinating illustrations. This simple work fills me with peace. I can almost hear the sweet music. The way the boy is gazing off into the distance seems hopeful, and the sky is so inviting. Art is everywhere to fill us with inspiration. Love that. Holling passed away in 1973, but his work lives on spreading joy.
