I've seen this image a couple of places on the web. I found the color version at bluegrassbanjo.org, linked without an illustrator credit... so I don't know who to attribute this to.

I'm also kicking myself for not bookmarking an illustration I saw last year titled "December 26th", a Norman Rockwell-style scene featuring Santa relaxing in a chair, jacket and hat off, playing an F-style mandolin. Now that I'm trying to find it again, my Google-fu is failing miserably.

I found it, I found it! Karen Cannon, illustrator:
