Original artwork description:

In this painting, I wanted to capture a moment of quiet resilience — a cowboy leading his horse through the vast plains at dusk. The glowing clouds symbolize the end of a long day, blending the exhaustion of labor with the peace of returning home. The figure is not a hero but an ordinary man, embodying endurance, solitude, and harmony with nature.
I used thick oil strokes and loose brushwork to evoke dust and movement, contrasting the warm reds and golds of the sunset with the muted tones of the land. This interplay of light and shadow gives the painting both emotional warmth and contemplative silence.
