Cowboy Landscape Painting: 'Off the Map'

This work portrays a lone cowboy navigating a remote canyon, emphasizing independence and resilience. Using oil paints with layered textures, I focused on the rugged landscape and the solitary figure’s purposeful journey as he tracks cattle across the creek bottoms. The scene honors the tradition of guardianship over untouched land, embodying the spirit of exploration and self-reliance in the tradition of Western ranching.
