The Texas Trail of Fame website (see link) has a depiction of Mr. Russell, as well as this short biography:
A severe form of dysgraphia kept this small boy from writing in a straight line so he began to draw pictures. Fulfilling a dream of living as a cowboy and wrangler, Russell helped others see the beauty of the West through his more than 3,000 paintings, drawings and sculptures. Much of his art can be seen in Fort Worth’s Sid Richardson and Amon Carter Museums.

The Texas Trail of Fame was established in 1997 to honor those who have made a significant contribution to our Western way of life. Throughout the walkways of the Fort Worth National Historic District, bronze inlaid markers have been placed in honor of their achievements. The desire of the Texas Trail of Fame is to inspire and educate visitors through the adventure of reflecting on these Westerner’s accomplishments. Trail Guides are available at the Stockyards Visitor's Information Center. So come on out to the Fort Worth Stockyards, grab a guide, and hit the trail!
