Title: Chasing the Runaway

This painting captures the urgency and rugged beauty of country life in winter.

Across a snow-covered hillside, a cowboy on horseback rides after a runaway calf, bringing movement and tension to the quiet landscape. The wide white fields, scattered evergreens, and distant tree line create a cold, open setting, while the dark water in the foreground adds contrast and depth.

There is a strong sense of determination in the scene. The cowboy and horse move with purpose, while the calf presses ahead through the snow, turning an ordinary farm moment into a story of action and responsibility. The soft winter sky above keeps the painting from feeling harsh, giving it a calm beauty even in the middle of the chase.

This piece speaks to the realities of ranch life—hard work, quick response, and the bond between rider and horse. It is a painting about courage, pursuit, and the everyday dramas that unfold across the land.
