Chasing Horizons (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Paul Cheng

While creating this painting, I wanted to capture the quiet moment of a cowboy riding home after a long day’s work. The glowing sky, filled with golden, orange, and lavender hues, reflects the vast beauty of the American West while framing the rider’s calm and determined silhouette. I used expressive brushwork, layered textures, and bold warm–cool color contrasts to merge the cowboy, horse, and landscape into a unified atmosphere. Splattered highlights and palette-knife marks introduce rhythm and movement, allowing the painting to convey the freedom, strength, and poetic spirit of the Western frontier.
