Original artwork description:

I painted Weathered Cowboy to capture the soul of a man shaped by time and the harshness of the West. Every wrinkle on his face tells a story—of sun, wind, silence, and resilience. His eyes are the heart of the piece, holding both sorrow and strength.I used bold, textured brushstrokes and stark contrasts of light and shadow to bring out the ruggedness of his features. The background is intentionally loose and abstract, drawing all focus to the expression. Warm browns and cool grays blend throughout the piece to reflect the balance between warmth and hardship. I relied heavily on instinct, aiming to convey a raw, honest emotional presence.
