A lone cowboy sits mounted on a dark horse atop a sun-baked ridge, surveying the sprawling landscape and cattle herd below, his wide-brimmed hat and weathered posture commanding the vast terrain. Warm ochres, dusty browns, and pale blues dominate the composition, with sparse desert vegetation anchoring the foreground while a distant river and plateaus stretch toward a hazy horizon. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
