For the first time since their formation, the National Day of the Cowboy organization selected a painting by a Kansas artist as the image to be used for their annual award.
My painting “Simple Things” is featured on the 2010 Cowboy Keeper Award that is given to five recipients in recognition of their substantial contribution to the preservation of the West.
It is a great honor to have my painting used for this award.

Bethany Braley, executive director and publisher of National Day of the Cowboy said each year she looks for a piece of western art that says something about preserving cowboy culture or pioneer heritage, adding she thought my painting is perfect for this year's award.
The National Day of the Cowboy, based in Fort Worth, Texas, is a nonprofit organization that contributes to the preservation of America’s Cowboy heritage so that the history and culture which the United States Congress’s National Day of the Cowboy resolution honors, can be shared and perpetuated for the public good, through education, the arts, celebrations, gatherings, rodeos and community activities.
Past award recipients have included Michael Martin Murphy, U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the Rex Allen Museum among others.
The National Day of the Cowboy celebrations are planned in a number of American cities this year, as well as Europe and even a rodeo in Lebanon.
