| Kelly Pruitt was a listed Texas painter known for his scenes of the old Southwest. Essentially self-taught, his earliest work was on sandstone in Arizona near the Grand Canyon. He had many one-man shows in most major US cities as well as in the capitol cities of Europe. Born in 1924, he lived his dream as a cowboy from the age of twelve, and launched his career as a painter when discovered by the owner of the El Tovar Hotel. He died in 2009.
