Original artwork description:

I wanted to capture the cowboy’s rugged charm and resilience through this piece. His smile is not just one of joy, but also of experience—weathered by time yet full of warmth. I used bold brushstrokes and thick layers of paint to create texture, enhancing the expressive quality of the portrait. The background is rendered in muted blue-gray tones to contrast with the figure, making him stand out. Warmer tones highlight his face and collar, emphasizing the play of light and shadow. My brushwork is loose yet intentional, reflecting the rough yet charismatic nature of the cowboy while preserving his spirit. Through this painting, I hope to evoke the sense of freedom and strength that embodies the Western way of life.
