Painting Description

A silhouetted cowboy looks off into a vivid sunset in this large western painting.

A silhouetted cowboy sits quietly against the backdrop of a blazing Texas sunset as the day winds down. His still form adds a meditative pause to the swirling brilliance of the sky — glowing hues of orange, red, and gold fill the canvas with warmth and drama. The solitude of the figure and the expanse of western landscape evoke a timeless sense of strength, reflection, and rustic beauty.

This one-of-a-kind artwork is hand-painted in oil on gallery-wrapped canvas, offering a seamless, contemporary presentation. The scene wraps around the edges for an elegant display that doesn’t require framing. It arrives unframed, giving you the flexibility to select a frame that complements your décor or to hang it as-is for a modern, frameless look that showcases the full composition. The painting measures 24″ wide by 18″ high, and 1.5″ deep, and includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity with the artist’s embossed seal. Signed on the front by Texas artist Teresa Bernard, this is a truly original piece.

Part of the celebrated Life in Texas Series, “Cowboy Sunset” captures the distinctive spirit that defines the collection — honoring western heritage, open landscapes, and the quiet moments that live between light and shadow. Whether you’re drawn to its bold composition or the story it tells, this painting is ready to bring the warmth of Texas skies and the grit of cowboy solitude into your space.

Artist Comments

Some of the most gorgeous sunsets in the world happen right here in Texas — though I’ll admit, I might be just a tad bit biased. I love the vibrant, colorful sunsets that I get to enjoy almost every evening. And I’ve always loved the idea of cowboys, horses, and the Old West.

This painting of a cowboy gazing off into the sunset takes me back to my childhood when pretty much all you could watch on TV were westerns. It was a fantasy life all of us kids dreamed about living someday. We would pretend to be cowboys and rode imaginary horses for hours until Mom called us in for supper. Those memories still make me smile.

Years later, when my husband decided it was time to retire from the Navy and settle down to live life as civilians again, we bought some land and built a small ranch in east Texas with a couple of horses, a donkey, and a few head of cattle. It was our dream to live a modern version of the cowboy way of life.

Your Feedback

“Very impressive! I’m not an expert but I hate modern art. To me a real artist can capture a magical moment in time and share its essence with the world. Most “experts” lost credibility with me when they started pushing crap that could be duplicated by preschoolers.” — @Dustythepainter, Gab

“Absolutely love your sunset and portrait of a man. What is the price for a commissioned painting from a photo?” — Kerri K., St. Paul MN

“From one artist to another, this is amazing!” — @nuhear4c, Gab
